- Abstract
Successful endoscopic management of early colorectal cancer using endoscopic mucosal resection requires the mandatory prediction of invasive depth and lymph node metastasis. Previous data using the Nagata crypt types Vn(B)/(C) as clinical indicators of T2/N+ disease have shown low specificity (50%) with a tendency to over stage lesions. New mini probe ultrasound "through the scope" imaging permits staging of lesions proximal to the rectum using direct endoscopic visualisation.
