Preoperative Staging of Esophageal Cancer by Endoscopic Ultrasonography

  • Conference paper
Book cover Diseases of the Esophagus

Abstract

Preoperative assessment of the depth of tumor invasion in patients with esophageal cancer is of vital importance for ensuring completeness of excision. It is also useful for making a precise diagnosis of metastasis to the mediastinal lymph nodes and determining the range of mediastinal dissection, which affects postoperative pulmonary complications. In the present study we investigated the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography in assessing the extent of cancer invasion and detecting lymphatic metastasis in esophageal cancer.
