Current role of endoscopic ultrasonography in the treatment of colorectal neoplastic lesions

The Authors examined the value of endoscopic ultrasounds in the tmanagement of colo-rectal lesions, particularly neoplastic ones, on the basis of their surgical experience, concluding that to date such technique cannot substitute traditional endoscopy, but surely can be a valid complementary tool for imaging diagnostics, expecially to study wall tumoral infiltration or extra-parietal relapses.
