Esophageal cancer; Endoscopic ultrasonography; Accuracy |
| Core Tip |
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) using a high-frequency catheter probe generally provides a highly accurate assessment of the invasion depth of superficial esophageal cancers (SECs). However, accuracy decreases for tumors ≥ 3 cm in size, with a tendency towards underestimation for these tumors. Therefore, caution is warranted when selecting the treatment modality for SECs ≥ 3 cm in size on the basis of pretreatment EUS staging. |
