Numerous factors are related to the prognosis of rectal cancer, including T stage, N stage, metastasis, extramural venous invasion (EMVI), circumferential resection margin (CRM), and tumor differentiation. However, it is still a challenge to precisely evaluate them before therapy; therefore, we investigate whether synthetic magnetic resonance imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values could help predict the prognostic factors of rectal cancer.
