A prospective study on using shear wave elastography to predict the ypT0 stage of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy: a new support for the watch-and-wait approach?

Introduction:The diagnostic accuracy of traditional imaging examination in predicting ypT stage of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy is significantly reduced, which would affect patients’ subsequent treatment choices. This study aimed to investigate the use of endorectal shear wave elastograph...
