Abstract

The accuracy of endorectal ultrasonography in assessing the depth of tumor invasion, particularly for early cancers, is lower than previously reported. The technique is more precise in distinguishing between benign tumors and invasive cancers and between tumors localized to the rectal wall and tumors with transmural invasion. Differences in image interpretation may in part explain discrepancies in accuracy between studies.
