Core Tip	Accurate staging and circumferential resection margin evaluation significantly impacts determining optimal treatment scheme. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly accurate; however, it has yet to be proved as effective in re-staging. The adding of diffusion-weighted sequences to standard T2-weighted MRI can positively affect its diagnostic accuracy.
