Abstract
In this review, we discuss the features of conventional endoscopy, magnified endoscopy involving image enhanced endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) using illustrations for submucosal deeply invasive colorectal cancer (SM-Ca). First, the typical features of SM-Ca were observed, including fold convergence, stiffness, depression (ulceration) and elevated lesions in depressed areas. Magnified endoscopic findings using NBI showed dilated, irregularly shaped micro-capillary vessels. In addition, VI and VN pits were clearly visible using crystal violet staining. In contrast, using EUS, at the third layer we found a layer that was thin compared to the surrounding normal mucosa, which suggested the existence of SM-Ca.Entities:
