Long‐Term Stoma‐Free Outcomes After Diverting Stoma Closure Following Radiation‐Based Neoadjuvant Treatment for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery

A retrospective cohort study with adequate sample size and long follow-up (median 63 months) reporting a clinically meaningful primary endpoint (delayed re-stoma-free survival), but lacks a comparator group and prospective design; results support the durability of sphincter-preserving surgery but require confirmation in prospective studies.

MRI-Based Radiomics and Machine Learning for Predicting Pathological Tumor Invasion and Nodal Status in Rectal Cancer: A Retrospective Study

Applied Sciences

A retrospective single-center study using cross-validation in a small, heterogeneous cohort (152 patients, split by treatment) that reports surrogate endpoints (AUC) rather than clinical outcomes; radiomic findings did not improve on baseline models, limiting clinical utility.

Profiling neoadjuvant therapy response in rectal cancer using meta‐analysis of publicly available transcriptomic RNA ‐seq datasets

Molecular Oncology

Meta-analysis of public transcriptomic data identifying candidate biomarkers and immune signatures associated with neoadjuvant response in rectal cancer, but without clinical validation, prospective design, or outcome prediction model.

Multivariate survival analysis of patients with stage III–IV colon cancer: clinical and biological factors and the impact of treatment regimen

South Russian Journal of Cancer

Retrospective single-centre cohort with modest follow-up (1.4 years median) and no randomization; observational associations with biomarkers and treatment types are hypothesis-generating rather than definitive.
