To assess the value of maximal extramural depth (EMD) of
T3 tumor spread on MRI as a potential noninvasive
imaging biomarker of tumor aggressiveness in rectal
cancer.Tumor EMDs differ between CEA <5 ng/mL versus5
ng/mL(P=0.013), CA19-9<27U/mL versus27 U/mL(P=0.012) ,
the groups of cN0 versus cN+ cancers (P=0.049), and
between the several groups of histological
differentiation grades (P=0.033).A significant negative
correlation (r=-0.581; P=0.001) between ADC and EMD
values was found. Significant correlations were found
between EMD values and CEA,CA19-9 level, differentiation
grade and ADC value. EMD has the potential to become an
imaging biomarker of tumor aggressiveness profile.
