    Notizen: Abstract Objectives: Factors limiting the accuracy of endorectal ultrasound in staging, locally advanced primary rectal cancer after preoperative neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RCT) were evaluated. Methods: Patients (n= 84) with initial locally advanced rectal cancer (uT3/uT4) undergoing R0 resection were investigated after preoperative treatment that combined radiotherapy up to 45 Gy with two cycles of chemotherapy (5-FU and leucovorin on d 1–5 and 22–28). At 4 to 6 weeks after completion of RCT and before tumor resection, preoperative endoluminal ultrasound was performed. Results: The accuracy to predict the depth of tumor infiltration (T-category) was found to correlate with downstaging. The T-category was correctly staged before surgery in 15 of the 51 responders (29%) and in 27 of 33 nonresponders (82%), whereas misinterpretation occurred in 36 of the responders (71%) and in 6 of the nonresponders (18%) (p 〈 0.001). Neither tumor distance from anal verge nor tumor location correlated with the staging accuracy. Lymph node involvement was correctly assessed in 48 patients (57%). Wall invasion was correctly ascertained in 42 patients (50%), with under estimation in 11 patients (13%) and overestimation in 31 patients (37%). Conclusions: After radiochemotherapy, endosonography does not provide a satisfactory accuracy for preoperative staging of rectal cancer. New interpretation and diagnostic criteria are needed for the prediction of treatment response.

    Notizen: Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to compare the value of endorectal ultrasound (EUS), three-dimensional (3D) EUS, and endorectal MRI in the preoperative staging of rectal neoplasms. Methods: Thirty consecutive patients with rectal tumors were assessed by EUS and endorectal MRI. Additionally, three-dimensional ultrasound was performed in a subgroup of 25 patients. EUS data were obtained with a bifocal multiplane transducer (10 MHz) and processed on a 3D ultrasound workstation. MR imaging was carried out with a 1.5 T superconducting unit using an endorectal surface coil. Results: EUS was carried out successfully in all 30 patients, whereas endorectal MRI was not feasible in two patients. Compared with the histopathological classification, EUS and endorectal MRI correctly determined the tumor infiltration depth in 25 of 30 and 28 patients, respectively. The comparative accuracy of EUS, 3D EUS, and endorectal MRI in predicting tumor invasion was 84%, 88%, and 91%, respectively. EUS, three-dimensional EUS, and endorectal MRI enabled us to assess the lymph node status correctly in 25, 25, and 24 patients, respectively. Both three-dimensional EUS and endorectal MRI combined high-resolution imaging and multiplanar display options. Assessment of additional scan planes facilitated the interpretation of the findings and improved the understanding of the three-dimensional anatomy. Conclusion: The accuracy of three-dimensional EUS and endorectal MRI in the assessment of the infiltration depth of rectal cancer is comparable to conventional EUS. One advantage of both methods is the ability to obtain multiplanar images, which may be helpful for the planning of surgery in the future.

    Notizen: Abstract PURPOSE: Preoperative staging of advanced carcinoma of the rectum by conventional endorectal ultrasonography is often impossible because of the presence of obstruction, which does not allow passage of the endoprobe. In a prospective Study, we investigated the value of three-dimensional endorectal ultrasonography for staging of obstructing rectal cancer. This technique permits examination of obstructing rectal tumors because scan planes can be chosen deliberately within a scanned volume. METHODS: Overall obstructing tumors not accessible for conventional endoprobes were found in 26 of 94 patients who were subjected to endorectal ultrasonography for staging of rectal cancer. Three-dimensional volume scanning was performed using a three-dimensional frontfire transducer or a three-dimensional bifocal multiplane transducer (7.5/10 MHz). Data of the three-dimensional scans were stored on a hard disk for subsequent evaluation with a combison 530 processor. RESULTS: Three-dimensional transrectal endosonography enabled visualization of local tumor spread in all 26 patients. In 18 patients, obstruction was caused by advanced primary rectal carcinoma. Endosonography accurately determined the tumor infiltration depth in three T2 tumors, eight T3 tumors, and three T4 tumors. Overall accuracy for assessment of infiltration depth was 78 percent. Accuracy for assessment of perirectal lymph node involvement was 75 percent. In eight patients, the obstruction was attributable to extramural regrowth of rectal cancer after surgery. Diameter of the lesions ranged between 3 and 6 cm. Although all lesions were clearly depicted by three-dimensional endosonography, only five lesions (62 percent) were detected by computed tomography. CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional endorectal ultrasonography provides previously unattainable scan planes and enables accurate staging of obstructing rectal tumors. This technique may improve therapy planning in advanced rectal cancer by selecting patients who require preoperative adjuvant therapy.
