Abstract

Detection of recurrent malignancy in an anastomosis may be difficult. Endosonography is useful in the staging of malignant diseases of the GI tract.1,2 It has recently been demonstrated that endosonography, performed at set intervals after resection of gastric or esophageal cancer, is accurate in the detection of early recurrence.3 Early detection of rectal cancer recurrence may have a decisive impact on management.
