Abstract PURPOSE: The value of endorectal ultrasonography for postoperative follow-up of rectal cancer is limited by the inability to distinguish recurrent malignancy from benign lesions,e.g., fibrotic tissue. This study was conducted to investigate the role of three-dimensional (3D) endosonography for evaluation and biopsy of recurrent rectal cancer. METHODS: Endorectal ultrasonography was performed in routine follow-up program after resection of rectal cancer. 3D volume scans were recorded using a bifocal multiplane 3D transducer (7.5/10 MHz) with a 100
