Abstract
The introduction of new technologies for diagnosis and screening programs led to an increasing rate of early detection of colorectal cancer. This, associated with the evolution of endoscopic techniques of local excision, led to the assessment of new strategies to reduce morbidity related to treatment, especially for early rectal cancer (ERC). Nevertheless, the definition of ERC and its staging and treatment algorithm are still under debate. The Italian Society of Colorectal Surgery developed practice guidelines to provide recommendations on the diagnosis, staging and treatment of ERC. A systematic review on the topic was performed by a multidisciplinary group of experts selected based on their clinical and scientific expertise in endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, magnetic resonance and surgery, with the aid of an external international audit.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
