To compare the accuracy of hydrocolonic sonography (HUS) in determining the depth of invasion (T stage) in colon and rectal cancer.
A total of 1 000-2 000 mL of saline was instilled per rectum using a system for barium enemas, and then ultrasonography was conducted by a SSA-270A (Toshiba Co, Japan) sonolayer unit with a 3.75 MHz for 17 patients with colon cancer and 13 patients with rectal cancer before operation. After operation, T stage in HUS was compared with postoperative histological findings.
Overall, the accuracy of T stage was 70%. It was 88% in colon cancer and 46% in rectal cancer. In evaluating nodal state, the accuracy of HUS was low in both colon (71%) and rectal cancers (46%) compared with conventional CT or MRI. The overall accuracy of N staging was 60%.
HUS is valuable to evaluate the depth of invasion in colon cancer, but is less valuable in rectal cancer. Because HUS is low-cost, noninvasive, and readily available at any place, this technique seems to be useful to determine the preoperative staging in colon cancer, but not in rectal cancer.
比较结肠水造影超声检查(HUS)在确定结肠癌和直肠癌浸润深度(T分期)方面的准确性。
使用钡剂灌肠系统经直肠注入1000 - 2000 mL生理盐水,然后在术前对17例结肠癌患者和13例直肠癌患者采用日本东芝公司的SSA - 270A超声诊断仪,以3.75 MHz频率进行超声检查。术后,将HUS的T分期与术后组织学检查结果进行比较。
总体而言,T分期的准确率为70%。其中结肠癌为88%,直肠癌为46%。在评估淋巴结状态方面,与传统CT或MRI相比,HUS在结肠癌(71%)和直肠癌(46%)中的准确率均较低。N分期的总体准确率为60%。
HUS对评估结肠癌的浸润深度有价值,但对直肠癌的价值较小。由于HUS成本低、无创且在任何地方都容易获得,该技术似乎有助于确定结肠癌的术前分期,但对直肠癌则不然。
