ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the integrity and standardization of structured MRI report for rectal cancer of the affiliated hospital of qingdao university,referring to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for colorectal cancer (Version 2015)and foreign authoritative research results,and put forward some suggestions to improve the quality.Methods A total of 110 structured MRI reports of 107 patients with rectal cancer were included in the study.The inclusion rates of 8 indexes were evaluated,including tumor site,distance from upper to lower border of tumor (DIS),tumor invasive depth (T staging),anal complex staging (A staging),nodal staging (N staging),the circumferential resection margin (CRM),extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) and metastases staging (M staging),which were compared with research results of structured reports in abroad by using Pearson chi-square test.Results There was a significant difference in the description of N staging (x2 =8.424,P＜0.05) between our research and foreign study,in 110 structured MRI reports.There was no significant difference in the description of tumor site (x2 =0.00,P＞0.05),DIS (x2 =0.041,P ＞0.05),T staging (x2 =3.256,P＞0.05) and CRM(x2 =2.957,P＞0.05) between the two groups.A staging,EMVI and M staging were not described.Conclusion Our structured MRI reports for rectal cancer basically meet international research standards.Structured MRI reports have advantages,and deserve to be further studied and promoted.
