Experts in the field from different specialties (Gastroenterology, Surgery, Radiology, Pathology, Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology) met to prepare the present document.<br />Results: The current literature was reviewed and discussed, with subsequent deliberation on the evidence.<br />Conclusions: Final recommendations were established in view of all the above.<br /> (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier España, S.L.U.
