Abstract:

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in clinic, and its morbidity and mortality are always high. Staging is the main basis for comprehensive treatment and prognosis evaluation. Accurate staging is essential for proper diagnosis, individualized treatment and good prognosis. Related technologies of endoscopic ultrasonography can determine the depth of tumor invasion and local lymph node metastasis, which makes the diagnosis of esophageal cancer more accurate, and plays an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of early esophageal cancer.
