Abstract: Early diagnosis of esophageal cancer is essential for improving both the effectiveness of esophageal cancer treatment and the prognosis of patients. As a new technology for esophageal cancer early diagnosis,narrowband imaging (NBI) enables surgeon to clearly observe the mucosa and submucosal blood vessels changes in early esophageal cancer. It has initially shown excellent application value in the early diagnosis.In particular it has obvious advantages to the ordinary white light endoscopy which is currently used in esophageal cancer early diagnosis. If combined with Lugol iodine staining ,magnifying endoscopy and other diagnostic methods in clinical, NBI will have a better value in early diagnosis of esophageal.
