A 45 year male has rectal cancer 10 cm anal verge. MRI t3 no, crircumferential resection margin (crm free) has upfront anterior resection. Histology comes back as t3 node positive crm free. He shall receive postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Should he receive postoperative radiotherapy.?
Consensus regarding postoperative radiotherapy was in a non TME era, or when MRI was not used routinely for staging. Is there enough evidence to give postoperative radiotherapy in tumors where crm is free
