The quality of total mesorectal excision specimen: A review of its macroscopic assessment and prognostic significance

As a surgical procedure which could significantly lower the recurrence rate of cancers, total mesorectal excision (TME) has been the gold standard for middle and lower rectal cancer treatment. However, previous studies have shown that the procedure did not achieve the ideal theoretical local recurre...
