| Core Tip |
Accurate target volume delineation is essential for effective postoperative radiotherapy in colorectal cancer. This study demonstrates that inaccurate target definition leads to markedly higher marginal and out-of-field recurrence, inferior disease-free and overall survival, and increased late intestinal toxicity. Target accuracy emerged as an independent prognostic factor comparable to nodal stage and margin status. These findings underscore the need for standardized delineation guidelines, multidisciplinary review, and advanced imaging integration to ensure optimal tumor coverage and minimize treatment failures. |
