Other interventions: Blinded inter-country reading of pelvic MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
This experiment will consist of an inter-country reading of patients' pelvic MRIs, "blind" to the other country's decision. The MRI shared will be the one based on which the treatment decision will be made. In case of medical contraindication to perform pelvic MRI, the scan will be used to assess the care-decision concordance between both countries.

Other interventions: MDT (Multidisciplinary team) meeting observation
3 per centre with "real" patient cases and "theoretical" patient cases (blinded pelvic MRI re-reading).

Other interventions: Semi-structured exploratory interviews and focus group with MDT health professional attendees
Will identify care management systems for PRC-bTME and LRRC patients, explore social representations that direct the formulation of a therapeutic decisions and identify cultural, medical and personal factors
