Staging of colonic neoplasms by colonoscopic miniprobe ultrasonography

International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2003
In contrast to the situation in the upper gastrointestinal tract staging of colonic neoplasm by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has not gained importance because until yet preoperative staging is without any clinical consequences.

Angiography in the diagnosis and staging of pelvic neoplasms.

Radiology, 1980
The efficacy of arteriography in the staging of pelvic neoplasms was examined in 447 patients. It was found to be most useful in defining advanced neoplastic disease, improving accuracy of staging in these patients by about 18%. In patients with early pelvic neoplastic disease, arteriography reduced the number of false positives.

CT and MR Imaging in Staging Bladder Neoplasms

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1987
Thirteen patients with bladder carcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT to determine the relative accuracy of the modalities in staging bladder carcinoma. Magnetic resonance correctly identified the presence or absence of extravesical spread of carcinoma in 10 of 13 patients (77%).

Classification and Staging of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

2015
The cancer classification reflects the current status of the knowledge on the type of tumor for which it is built. In the case of neuroendocrine neoplasms, the current classification here detailed is the latest produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010. The WHO 2010 classification, besides the usual morphological ground on which is based,
