Completeness of excision: R0

Diagnosis:
1. Upper rectum:
Upper rectum
- Redidual adenocarcinoma NOS, minimal response to therapy (TRG 2)
- Extramural venous invasion
Lymph nodes
- +2/23; metastatic carcinoma in two of twenty-three nodes, treatment related changes in additional three nodes, apical node clear.
TNM class AJCC Stage (7th) 
- ypT3N1b cM0; stage IIIB; R0
MMR IHC
- Pending, supplementary report to follow
2. Distal rectal donut - No evidence of malignancy"
