Core Tip	Patients with colorectal cancer exhibited higher values of quantitative parameters [volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep) and extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve)] of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging than those with benign tumor. Increased values of Ktrans, Kep, and Ve were correlated with more advanced primary tumor and lymph node stages. The values of Ktrans, Kep and Ve exhibited good performance in diagnosing colorectal cancer and preoperative assessment of clinical stages.
