“…They raise an interesting point regarding correlation of IMV diameter of whole-mount specimens with and without tumours, to validate the hypothesis [1]. Imaging correlation to histopathological specimens is a tried and tested method to correlate rectal cancer staging and subsequent tumour regression grade after neoadjuvant radiotherapy [3,4]; however, we have some apprehensions with the suggestion in this case.…”
