Case description

Rectal Endosonography. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Different treatment concepts, including local excision, radical resection and multimodality therapy, are available for colorectal cancer depending on the tumour stage. Consequently, access to an accurate and reliable method for staging these tumours pre-operatively is essential if patients are to receive appropriate treatment. However, it is difficult to assess the depth of tumour invasion by the routine methods of barium enema, colonoscopy and CT. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination has added a new dimension to the evaluation of tumour invasion and lymph node involvement in gastrointestinal cancer.
