CT Signs Can Predict Treatment Response and Long-Term Survival: A Study in Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer with Preoperative Chemotherapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recently, traditional laparoscopic anterior resection has been used for rectal cancer, offering good functional results compared with open resection and resulting in better early postoperative outcomes. Few studies investigating the role of robot-assisted tumor-specific rectal surgery (RTSRS) have been carri...
