This prospective study included 80 patients in routine follow-up examinations after rectal cancer treatment. We performed anamnesis, clinical examination, total colonoscopy and endorectal sonography and tested the level of tumour markers CEA and CA 19-9. In 10 cases we detected local cancer recurrence of the rectal tumour. In 8 cases tumour markers were pathologically raised. Endoscopy detected the local recurrence in 4 patients only. Endorectal US was able to detect all of the recurrence cases. A histological confirmation was possible by EUS-guided needle biopsy in all cases. We were able to perform R 0-re-resection with the hope of curing in 4 patients out of 10 recurrence cases. Only endorectal US was able to detect two of those 4 recurrent tumours. In the follow-up of rectal cancer endorectal US seems to be a highly sensitive examination that may raise the number of re-resection with the hope of curing after rectal cancer treatment.
