Ultrasound tested for better colorectal mass diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07351890
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 270 patients to see how accurate endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is at diagnosing colorectal submucosal masses. Researchers compared the EUS results with the final pathology report. The goal is to improve how doctors identify these growths and guide treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors more accurately diagnose colorectal masses without surgery, improving treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and EUS accuracy depends on operator skill and equipment.

Who is studied
This study includes patients who were admitted to Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University between 2015 and 2023 and underwent colorectal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Eligible participants are those diagnosed with colorectal submucosal tumors/subepithelial lesions based on the Chinese expert consensus on endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (2023 edition) and related criteria. Patients whose EUS findings did not support a diagnosis of a submucosal tumor/subepithelial lesion were excluded.
