Evaluation of Extramural Venous Invasion (EMVI)

EasyChair Preprint 14623

Abstract

Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) is a critical prognostic factor in colorectal cancer that has significant implications for treatment and patient outcomes. EMVI refers to the extension of the primary tumor beyond the muscularis propria and into the surrounding mesorectal veins. This feature is associated with an increased risk of hematogenous metastatic spread and poorer patient prognosis.
The accurate assessment of EMVI is crucial in the management of colorectal cancer. Imaging modalities, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), play a crucial role in the preoperative identification and evaluation of EMVI. By detecting the presence and extent of EMVI, clinicians can tailor the treatment approach, including the use of neoadjuvant therapy and the extent of surgical resection.
This introduction highlights the importance of EMVI assessment in colorectal cancer management and sets the stage for a comprehensive evaluation of the diagnostic techniques, prognostic significance, and clinical implications of EMVI. Understanding the role of EMVI evaluation is essential for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes in this disease.
