Prognostic significance of extramural vascular invasion in T4 rectal cancer

Extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) has been proposed as an adverse prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer, although its use remains both variable and controversial. This study aimed to determine the survival effect of EMVI in T4 rectal cancer.
