Is total mesorectal excision always necessary for T1-T2 lower rectal cancer?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Considering the typical rapid progression and high mortality of pancreatic cancer (PC), early detection may lead to an improved outcome. To date, there is no safe, sensitive, and cost-effective screening strategy to detect PC. Currently, screening is focused on individuals at the highest risk of developing P...
