Qu’apporte l’échographie endorectale à la prise en charge des cancers du rectum?

What is the contribution of transrectal utrasonography to management of rectal cancer?

  • Published:
Acta Endoscopica

Résumé

L’échographie endorectale est largement utilisée depuis une dizaine d’années pour le bilan d’extension des tumeurs du rectum. L’intérêt d’une technique diagnostique repose dans sa capacité à influencer le choix thérapeutique en permettant une meilleure sélection des malades.

Le but de cet exposé est de rappeler les indications principales de l’échographie endorectale et de déterminer dans quelle mesure l’examen permet d’optimiser les choix thérapeutiques.

Summary

Transrectal ultrasonography has been widely used over the last decade in the extention work-up of tumors of the rectum. The contribution of a diagnostic technique depends on its capacity to guide therapeutic decision making and enable better patient selection.

The purpose of this review is to recall the main indications for transrectal ultrasonography and determine how this technique can best contribute to optimal therapeutic management.
