Core Tip	Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an important and widely used staging modality in esophageal cancer. However, our study corroborates other reports that EUS is less accurate in early cancer. The use of positron emission tomography in this setting improves rates of accurate staging. Also, more liberal use of endoscopic mucosal resection will potentially improve staging in early esophageal cancer. Further evaluation of the under-staged group in this review is needed to determine if unrecognized nodal disease by preoperative staging workup in early stage esophageal cancer affects long-term survival or disease-free interval.
