Abstract

Findings from the DISCO trial showed that the rate of futile surgeries in patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases who received diffusion-weighted MRI was 26.8% compared with 42.5% in the control group, indicating a reduction in unnecessary surgeries such as staging laparoscopies, laparotomies, and cytoreductive surgery (Abstract 15).
