Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The management of rectal cancer has drastically evolved over the past two decades as a result of implementation of circular stapling devices and the introduction of neoadjuvant chemoradiation. In spite of current aggressive multimodality treatments, the recurrence rate remains unacceptably high and the expected 5-year survival in patients who develop recurrent disease is dismal. The management of rectal cancer must involve a multidisciplinary approach. An understanding of the biology of rectal tumours may allow for selection of patients who may have an aggressive phenotype allowing for alterations in the operative and neoadjuvant planning. Efforts to improve local control and survival in rectal cancer are the focus of multiple current clinical and preclinical research efforts. Preoperative chemoradiation for and surgical management of rectal cancer, including the laparoscopic approach are areas of dynamic progression. In the present report, we review the current evidence in the new strategies pertaining to the multimodality approach in the management of rectal cancer. © Association of Surgeons of India 2009.
