Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging in prediction of tumour-free resection margin in rectal cancer surgery.
R.G.H. Beets-Tan,Geerard L. Beets,Rfa Vliegen,Agh Alphons Kessels,H. van Boven,A.P. de Bruine,M.F. von Meyenfeldt,Cgmi Baeten,Jma van Engelshoven +8 more
TL;DR: MRI with a phased-array coil showed moderate accuracy and reproducibility for predicting the tumour stage of rectal cancers, allowing preoperative identification of patients at risk of recurrence who will benefit from preoperative radiotherapy, more extensive surgery, or both.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative assessment of local tumor extent in advanced rectal cancer: CT or high-resolution MRI?
R.G.H. Beets-Tan,Geerard L. Beets,A.C.W. Borstlap,T. K. Oei,T.M. Teune,M.F. von Meyenfeldt,J.M.A. van Engelshoven +6 more
TL;DR: High-resolution MRI using a quadrature phased-array coil is highly accurate and superior to CT in predicting tumor infiltration in surrounding structures for locally advanced primary or recurrent rectal cancer and is recommended in the preoperative work-up of these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of low-energy contrast-enhanced spectral mammography images by comparing them to full-field digital mammography using EUREF image quality criteria.
Ulrich Lalji,Cécile R. L. P. N. Jeukens,I. P. L. Houben,Patty J. Nelemans,R E van Engen,E. van Wylick,R.G.H. Beets-Tan,R.G.H. Beets-Tan,Joachim E. Wildberger,Joachim E. Wildberger,Leonie Paulis,Marc B. I. Lobbes,Marc B. I. Lobbes +12 more
TL;DR: Low-energy CESM images are non-inferior to FFDM images and can be omitted in patients with an indication for CESM, and micro-calcifications are significantly more visible on LE CESM than on FFDM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern multidisciplinary treatment of rectal cancer based on staging with magnetic resonance imaging leads to excellent local control, but distant control remains a challenge.
Sanne M. E. Engelen,Monique Maas,M. J. Lahaye,Jeroen W. A. Leijtens,C.L.H. van Berlo,Rob L. H. Jansen,Stephanie O. Breukink,Cornelis H. C. Dejong,C.J.H. van de Velde,R.G.H. Beets-Tan,Geerard L. Beets +10 more
TL;DR: With a differentiated multimodality treatment based on dedicated preoperative MR imaging, local recurrence is no longer the main problem in rectal cancer treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staged mucosal advancement flap for the treatment of complex anal fistulas: pretreatment with noncutting Setons and in case of recurrent multiple abscesses a diverting stoma.
S.J. van der Hagen,Cor G. M. I. Baeten,P.B. Soeters,R.G.H. Beets-Tan,M G V M Russel,W.G. van Gemert +5 more
TL;DR: A staged strategy for the treatment of complex perianal fistula is presented to assess the efficacy of a staged strategy and the importance of knowing the patient’s prior history to determine whether the strategy is effective.
