Estimation of invasion depth of early colorectal cancer using EUS and NBI-ME: a meta-analysis
2019
Background
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and narrow band imaging-magnifying endoscopy (NBI-ME) are often used as diagnostic tools to estimate the depth of invasion in early colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to compare NBI-ME with EUS in distinguishing between slight submucosal invasion (invasion depth < 1000 μm) and massive submucosal invasion in patients with early CRC, since slight submucosal invasion is currently considered as an indication for endoscopic resection.
