Preoperative staging of rectal cancer: role of 3D endorectal ultrasonography.
Endorectal ultrasonography has become important part of preoperative staging of rectal cancer, providing adequate information for clinical decision-making in many cases. However, with the currently available ultrasonographic equipment and techniques, a good deal of relevant information may remain hidden. The advent of high-resolution three-dimensional endoluminal ultrasound, constructed from a ...
متن کاملThe accuracy of endorectal ultrasonography in rectal cancer staging
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The incidence of rectal cancer in the European Union is about 35% of the total colorectal cancer incidence. Staging rectal cancer is important for planning treatment. It is essential for the management of rectal cancer to have adequate preoperative imaging, because accurate staging can influence the therapeutic strategy, type of resection, and candidacy for neoadjuvant thera...
متن کاملComparing results of preoperative staging of rectal tumor using endorectal ultrasonography and histopathology.
BACKGROUND Preoperative clinical staging of rectal tumors is very important to allow surgeons make informed decisions about the types of surgeries that should be performed. Endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS) is one of the tools that has been commonly used in clinical staging of rectal tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the preoperative rectal tumor staging using endore...
متن کاملPreoperative staging of rectal cancer.
Detailed preoperative staging using high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables the selection of patients that require preoperative therapy for tumour regression. This information can be used to instigate neoadjuvant therapy in those patients with poor prognostic features prior to disturbing the tumour bed and potentially disseminating disease. The design of trials incorporating MR...
متن کاملCombined endorectal ultrasonography and strain elastography for the staging of early rectal cancer.
AIM Strain elastography is a novel approach to rectal tumour evaluation. The primary aim of this study was to correlate elastography to pT stages of rectal tumours and to assess the ability of the method to differentiate rectal adenomas (pT0) from early rectal cancer (pT1-2). Secondary aims were to compare elastography with endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS) and to propose a combined strain elas...
