Abstract

Accurate staging of rectal carcinoma is crucial for planning surgery and indicating adjuvant therapy. Although computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are very sensitive in detecting metastatic disease, the local staging of rectal cancer with these techniques has been disappointing. Endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) is today with rectal MRI the most accurate methods for staging rectal and anal cancer.
