With these objectives, 36 consecutive patients with rectal cancer were studied by endoluminal ultrasound: 17 of them also underwent computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis. The results were correlated with the findings at operation and subsequent pathological examination. Endoluminal ultrasound correctly predicted invasion of the tumour through the rectal wall in 86 per cent of patients, with a sensitivity of 96 per cent and specificity of 50 per cent, but correctly identified lymph node metastases in only 61 per cent of patients (sensitivity 57 per cent; specificity 64 per cent). CT correctly predicted invasion through the rectal wall in 94 per cent of cases, with a sensitivity of 100 per cent and specificity of 67 percent and correctly identified lymph node metastases in 70 per cent of patients (sensitivity 25 per cent; specificity 85 per cent). These findings indicate that both endoluminal ultrasound and CT may be helpful in selecting patients for pre-operative radiotherapy. Neither technique, however, can reliably identify lymph node metastases and therefore cannot be used to select patients who would be suitable for local excision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800751022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,3]],"date-time":"2007-03-03T10:47:16Z","timestamp":1172918836000},"page":"1019-1022","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":115,"title":["Endoluminal ultrasound and computed tomography in the staging of rectal cancer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"P J","family":"Holdsworth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Surgery, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Johnston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Surgery, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A G","family":"Chalmers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Chennells","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M F","family":"Dixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Pathology, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P J","family":"Finan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Surgery, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J N","family":"Primrose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Surgery, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Quirke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Pathology, The General Infirmary , Great George Street, Leeds LS1 3EX,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1988,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024092719501114500_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1097\/00001574-198501000-00008","article-title":"Neoplasms: surgical treatment","volume":"1","author":"Goligher","year":"1985","journal-title":"Current Opinion in Gastroenterology"},{"key":"2024092719501114500_bib2","first-page":"369","article-title":"Short term pre-op radiotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the rectum","volume":"80","author":"Stockholm Rectal Cancer Study Group","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Clin Oncol"},{"key":"2024092719501114500_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"847","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02555422","article-title":"Adjuvant therapy for colorectal cancer.
