High-Resolution Endoscopic Ultrasound: Clinical T-Staging of Mucosal Neoplasms

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Early Neoplasias of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Abstract

High-resolution endoscopic ultrasound (hrEUS) with miniprobes performed during diagnostic endoscopy complements information on invasiveness of suspected malignant mucosal neoplasias. The diagnostic essentials of hrEUS images of early neoplasias are explained and discussed. Imaging by hrEUS per se distinguishes mucosal or sm-microinvasive lesions vs. deeply sm-invasive neoplasias at about 90 % accuracy in most locations of the GI tract. HrEUS imaging should be available for the decision between endoscopic ablation and surgical resection of such lesions.
