Core Tip Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is not necessary or adds little in management of many cases, such as, in patients with distant metastases or following pre-operative (neoadjuvant) chemoradiotherapy. EUS is the most sensitive test to exclude local tumor invasion and regional nodal disease that would make endoscopic resection (ER) unsafe or unnecessary. Thus, for early esophageal cancer staging, EUS followed by ER and histopathologic analysis, remains the standard-of-care. For a minority of locally advanced cancers, EUS-fine-needle aspiration can define the radiotherapy field by providing tissue samples of suspicious lymph nodes that are remote from the primary tumor.
