Table 4 Advantages and disadvantages of the 3 types of echoendoscopes that have been used for the evaluation of lesions on the colon beyond the rectum

	Advantages	Disadvantages
A miniprobe echoendoscope	Widely available Can be used together with regular colonoscope	Cannot be properly used for evaluation of thickened-wall colon cancer
A forward-viewing linear-array echoendoscope	Ability to perform EUS guided fine needle aspiration for colonic lesions	Inconvenient to evaluate circumferential colonic lesions like colon cancer
A forward-viewing radial-array echoendoscope	Ability to evaluate circumferential colonic lesions	Inability to perform EUS guided FNA for colonic lesions

EUS: Endoscopic ultrasound.
