Echographie endorectale et cancer du rectum

Endorectal ultrasound and rectal cancer

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

Le cancer colorectal est le cancer le plus fréquent de l’adulte en Europe et aux Etats-Unis.

Chaque année plus de 38 000 nouveaux cas de cancer du rectum sont diagnostiqués aux Etats-Unis. De par sa localisation anatomique, le cancer du rectum doit être différencié du cancer du côlon. Ces différences anatomiques et pronostiques recommandent des stratégies diagnostiques et thérapeutiques relativement bien codifiées et basées sur le bilan d’extension locorégionale.

Ce travail fait le point sur le rôle de l’échographie endorectale dans l’évaluation et la prise en charge thérapeutique des cancers du rectum.

Summary

Colorectal cancer is among the most common cancer affecting adult men and women. About 38,000 new rectal cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States. While part of a functional continuum, rectal cancers are distinguished from colon cancers based on some very real anatomic, prognostic, and practical differences. These differences command staging and therapies unique to rectal lesions. Stage-based therapy for rectal cancer has achieved broad acceptance and is considered the standard of care. This submission reviews the role of EUS for the evaluation and management of rectal cancers.
