In various trials, the ability of low-dose CT screening to diagnose early lung cancers leads to high cure rates. It is widely accepted that the potential benefits of low-dose CT screening for lung cancer outweigh the harms. The ability to reliably predict the benignity of nodules, especially at the baseline round, further reduces the potential for harm. Pleural-attached nodules are an important subgroup that represents nodules attached (distance from any pleural surface, 0 mm) to any pleural surfaces (fissural, costal, mediastinal, and diaphragmatic). Pleural-attached solid nodules less than 10 mm in average diameter with smooth margins and triangular, lentiform, oval, or semicircular shapes have a high likelihood of benignity. The 2019 Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) version 1.1 assigned pleural-attached nodules with these features to categories 3 (probably benign, recommend follow-up in 6 months) or 4 (suspicious for malignancy, recommend follow-up in 3 months or PET/CT). However, Lung-RADS version 2022 now recommends annual follow-up rather than short-term follow-up. These changes downgrade these nodules to category 2 (benign) and limits additional workup. This review article summarizes the terminology used to describe these nodules, characteristics for determining benignity, and the accuracy of the evidence used to make these recommendations.</p>","PeriodicalId":20896,"journal":{"name":"Radiology","volume":"314 1","pages":"e240091"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143010691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historically, treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer has focused on neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiotherapy, followed by total mesorectal excision. Interest in organ preservation strategies has been strengthened by the introduction of total neoadjuvant therapy with improved rates of complete clinical response. The administration of systemic induction chemotherapy and consolidation chemoradiotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting has introduced a new dimension to the treatment landscape and patients now face a more intricate decision-making process, given the expanded therapeutic options. This complexity underlines the importance of shared decision-making and brings to light the crucial role of radiologists. MRI, especially high-spatial-resolution T2-weighted imaging, is heralded as the reference standard for rectal cancer management because of its exceptional ability to provide staging and prognostic insights. A key evolution in MRI interpretation for rectal cancer is the transition from the DISTANCE mnemonic to the more encompassing DISTANCED-DIS, distal tumor boundary; T, T stage; A, anal sphincter complex; N, nodal status; C, circumferential resection margin; E, extramural venous invasion; D, tumor deposits. This nuanced shift in the mnemonic captures a wider range of diagnostic indicators. It also emphasizes the escalating role of radiologists in steering well-informed decisions in the realm of rectal cancer care.</p>","PeriodicalId":20896,"journal":{"name":"Radiology","volume":"314 1","pages":"e232838"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142954069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
