The most frequent causes of misdiagnoses by endosonography were microscopic tumor invasion and peritumorous inflammatory changes.
2
Sensitivity and specificity for T and N staging were equal or superior in the endosonography group.
3
From January 1988, 424 patients with rectal cancer were examined by endosonography.
4
Compiled data in the literature for MRI staging of rectal cancer show results similar to those with endosonography.
5
Therefore we see no indication for preoperative rectal staging methods other than endosonography unless the latter examination is technically impossible.

1
Alternatively, further assessment by MRI or flexible endoscopicultrasound may be considered.
2
Preoperative findings of endoscopicultrasound were classified according to TNM staging.
3
Staging consisted in colonoscopy, thoracic and abdominal CT, pelvic MRI and endoscopicultrasound.
4
Moreover, elongated echogenic material with a central hypoechogenic area was seen on endoscopicultrasound.
5
The accuracy of endoscopicultrasound to predict response was determined.
6
With advancement in endoscopicultrasound with fine needle aspiration, it has become easier to make correct diagnosis.
7
Screening and surveillance for pancreatic cancer and its precursors is a relatively new indication for endoscopicultrasound.
8
Gastric cancer is diagnosed histologically after endoscopic biopsy and staged using CT, endoscopicultrasound, PET, and laparoscopy.
9
The endoscopicultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration produced cytospins were moderately cellular with a few fragments of markedly atypical epithelium.
10
Prospective controlled data of lymph node evaluation by endoscopicultrasound in esophageal, gastric and pancreatic cancer is presented.
11
Methods: We enrolled all patients ≥50 years with chronic upper abdominal pain and vascular risk referred for endoscopicultrasound.
12
Furthermore, clinical staging methods such as endoscopicultrasound are assessed which may allow pre-operative determination of tumor and lymph-node stage.
13
Few studies have evaluated the role of endoscopicultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in diagnosing clinically suspected cholangiocarcinoma.
14
Methods: Abdominal imaging including CT scan or endoscopicultrasound with fine-needle aspiration tissue sampling is essential for the initial diagnostic procedure.
15
Conclusions: These results support the role of Doppler endoscopicultrasound to exclude chronic mesenteric ischaemia as cause of chronic abdominal pain.
16
Methods: We performed retrospective analyses of endoscopicultrasound (EUS) and pathology databases identifying pancreatic cysts with available final pathological diagnoses.
