Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate preoperative cancer staging is crucial for effective treatment planning.
  • Limitations exist in traditional imaging modalities for detailed local staging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and clinical utility of endorectal ultrasound for preoperative cancer staging.
  • To compare endorectal ultrasound with other imaging techniques for staging accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized endorectal ultrasound for preoperative staging of cancer.
  • Assessed tumor penetration depth and lymph node status.
  • Compared endorectal ultrasound findings with CT and lymphoscintigraphy.

Main Results:

  • Achieved >90% accuracy in assessing tumor penetration depth across all T stages.
  • Demonstrated >80% accuracy in preoperative lymph node evaluation, outperforming CT and lymphoscintigraphy.
  • Endorectal ultrasound is easy to perform and cost-effective.

Conclusions:

  • Endorectal ultrasound is a highly accurate and valuable tool for preoperative cancer staging.
  • Its accuracy influences treatment decisions, local therapy selection, radiotherapy planning, and management of tumor recurrences.
