Core Tip	Total mesorectal excision has remained the gold standard treatment for mid and low rectal tumors since its introduction in the late 1980s. However, where the Western guidelines consider spread to the lateral lymph nodes as an advanced form of the disease and use neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy liberally, the Japanese guidelines define it as a local disease and proceed to lateral lymph node dissection with or without neoadjuvant treatment. We review the current literature for therapeutic strategies, enhancing knowledge for treatment of patients with low and mid rectal cancer.
