Endosonography and Computerized Tomography in the Evaluation of Tumor Invasion in Esophageal Cancer After Preoperative Chemo- and Radiotherapy

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Diseases of the Esophagus

Esophageal carcinoma presents a poor prognosis with 5-year survival rates not exceeding 5%, but rising to 18% for resected patients [1,2]. Surgery is currently the most valid form of therapy for the disease, though the morbidity and mortality rates are still high [3–5].
