Rectal Cancer 41,000 new cases diagnosed/year Estimated 8,500 deaths Estimated 8,500 deaths Prognosis and management is dependent upon stage at time of presentation Staging allows for identification of patients in need of neoadjuvant chemotherapy Recommended for pts with advanced loco-regional rectal cancer (T3, T4 N0, TxN1, N2) Recommended for pts with advanced loco-regional rectal cancer (T3, T4 N0, TxN1, N2)

Endorectal sonography (ERUS) Introduced in 1983 Hildebrant and Feifel introduced ERUS in 1985 as means of staging rectal carcinoma
15
Technique Preferable to have empty rectum as fecal material can distort images Laxative enema Laxative enema Standard colonoscopy prep Standard colonoscopy prep Well tolerated Often can be performed without sedation

Hyperechoic mucosa Hypoechoic muscularis mucosa Hyperechoic submucosa Hypoechoic muscularis propria Hyperechoic serosa

42 Studies Only included those with surgical histology confirmation Only included those with surgical histology confirmation T1 Pooled sensitivity – 87.8% (95% CI 85.3-90) Pooled specificity – 98.3% (95% CI 97.8-98.7)
20
T2 Pooled sensitivity – 80.5% (95% CI 77.9-82.9) Pooled specificity – 95.6% (95% CI 94.9-96.3)
21
T3 Pooled sensitivity – 96.4% (95% CI 95.4-97.2) Pooled specificity – 90.6% (95% CI 89.5-91.7)

EUS Staging 42 studies included

EUS Staging
26
EUS Several studies suggest better than CT or MRI for T staging In a cohort of 80 patients with new nonmets rectal cancer: EUS changed management in 1/3 pts, mostly b/c CT tended to underestimate T stage EUS changed management in 1/3 pts, mostly b/c CT tended to underestimate T stage EUS correctly identified 62% pts with T3/4 disease missed by CT resulting in neoadjuvant therapy for people who would have otherwise missed this txEUS correctly identified 62% pts with T3/4 disease missed by CT resulting in neoadjuvant therapy for people who would have otherwise missed this tx No pts were overstagedNo pts were overstaged Harewood, Wiersema, et al.

27
EUS Issues Biggest problem seems to be overstaging T2 tumors Could be secondary to inflammatory infiltrate Could be secondary to inflammatory infiltrate Understaging –resolution Operator experience Level of tumor Reduced accuracy for lower tumors Reduced accuracy for lower tumors Up to 17% cannot be staged secondary to inability to traverse Schwartz DA, Harewood GC, Wiersema MJ. EUS for rectal disease. Gastroint Endosc 2002;56:100.
28
35 studies included Reported accuracy of CT 55-65% and MRI 60-65% Only modest +LR but low –LR (which is what you want) So better used to exclude Nodal disease rather than confirm invasion
29
Nodal disease Less accurate in diagnosing this Studies report similar to CT and MRI (60-80%) Studies report similar to CT and MRI (60-80%) Adding FNA-some studies show improved accuracy, while others did not Adding FNA-some studies show improved accuracy, while others did not Metastatic LN: hypoechoic appearance, round shape, and a reduced sonar attenuation coefficient Size: > 0.5 cm: 50% to 70% chance cancer > 0.5 cm: 50% to 70% chance cancer <0.4 mm: <20% <0.4 mm: <20% Schwartz DA, Harewood GC, Wiersema MJ.

Recurrence Rectal EUS superior to pelvic CT in detecting recurrence (sensitivity 100% vs. 85%) Performance affected by postop chemo/XRT inflammation/changes Performance affected by postop chemo/XRT inflammation/changes Improved performance with EUS-FNA In a study of 312 patients, for example, FNA significantly improved accuracy compared to EUS alone (92 versus 75 percent) In a study of 312 patients, for example, FNA significantly improved accuracy compared to EUS alone (92 versus 75 percent) The superior accuracy was primarily reflected in better specificity (93 versus 57 percent for CT)The superior accuracy was primarily reflected in better specificity (93 versus 57 percent for CT) Similar results from another study of 116 patients Similar results from another study of 116 patients biggest advantage of EUS FNA was the ability to detect very small pararectal recurrences (the smallest tumor being 3 mm) allowing for potentially curative resectionbiggest advantage of EUS FNA was the ability to detect very small pararectal recurrences (the smallest tumor being 3 mm) allowing for potentially curative resection Hunerbien et al.

Recurrance No consensus of timing of follow up studies currently In previous study, done every 3 mon for 2 yrs In previous study, done every 3 mon for 2 yrs One author suggested reasonable approach to do aggressive surveillance on patients with locally advanced tumors and in those who had local excision (ie transanal) as these would have the highest risk recurrence One author suggested reasonable approach to do aggressive surveillance on patients with locally advanced tumors and in those who had local excision (ie transanal) as these would have the highest risk recurrence
