Abstract
Eighty-five patients treated surgically for rectal cancer have been followed up by conventional clinical examination, sigmoidoscopy, and endosonography. Local recurrence was diagnosed in 22 patients. Nineteen of these had either sigmoidoscopic or digital evidence of recurrence and three were diagnosed solely by endosonography. In all cases endosonography gave additional information on which to base management decisions. Routine use of endosonography should allow the detection of early recurrence in a larger number of patients.
