Abstract:IntroductionAccurate assessment of invasion depth of early rectal neoplasms is essential for optimal therapy. We aimed to compare three‐dimensional endorectal ultrasound (3D‐ERUS) with magnification chromoendoscopy (MCE) regarding their accuracy in assessing parietal invasion depth (T).MethodsPatients with middle and distal rectum neoplasms were prospectively included. Two providers blinded to each other's assessment performed 3D‐ERUS and MCE, respectively. The T stage assessed through ERUS was compared to the… Show more
