Abstract
In order to evaluate the depth of superficial colorectal cancer invasion as accurately as possible, we used a 2-channel electronic videocolonoscope and 15 MHz ultrasound probe (MP-PN series, Aloka Co. Ltd.). Through one channel, we pushed or withdrew the mucosa near the lesion by forceps. Through the other channel, we evaluated the depth of superficial colorectal cancer invasion using the ultrasound probe. By these procedures, we manipulated the mucosa near the lesion, and scanned the lesion vertically. We applied this examination to 6 patients with colorectal cancer (2 mucosal cancer, 4 submucosal cancer). We obtained a high diagnostic accuracy rate of 83.3%.
