title: [Correlation of the x-ray morphology with the histopathological staging and grading of colorectal cancer].
abstract: In a retrospective study stage grouping as well as histopathological grading (G category) of colorectal carcinomas was compared to radiographic findings at double contrast barium enema. A good correlation of tumour stage according to Dukes and the pT category and histopathological grading could be established to radiographic morphology. Apple core lesions and eccentrically obstructing neoplasms as well as saddle-like tumours exhibited worse staging and grading categories in comparison to polypoid lesions; plaque-like tumours are probably in between. It can therefore be assumed that the radiographic appearance of colorectal carcinomas may be a valuable tool to indicate stage group and G-category and thus offer information about patient prognosis.
