In this context, a panel of experts from three medical societies was ...

5. Comparing three-dimensional endorectal ultrasound and magnification chromoendoscopy for early rectal neoplasia invasion depth assessment

   JOURNAL OF GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY, v.39, n.2, p.346-352, 2024

   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).MethodsPat...
