Keywords: Cancer, MuscleThe low-risk rectal cancer (RC) has no need for postoperative treatment after total mesorectal excision (TME). However, there are some low-risk RC patients without postoperative-treatments had subsequent metastasis and recurrence. Skeletal muscles are gaining more attention which shown to be associated with morbidity and mortality in caners. Therefore, this study established a radiomics model based on pelvic skeletal muscles on MRI to identify the low-risk rectal cancer (RC) with poor prognosis. Our research shows that the novel radiomic signatures could be used to predict disease-free survival (DFS) in low-risk RC to help clinicians improve the treatment decision making followed TME.
