  • Title: [Use of endoscopic ultrasonography in the staging of esophageal tumors].
    Author: De Francesco F, Buda CA, Maisano C, Querci A, Torchia U, Lemma F, Ocera S.
    Journal: G Chir; 1996 Mar; 17(3):118-20. PubMed ID: 8679421.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) was performed in 15 patients with esophageal and cardial carcinoma with the aim to evaluate intramural or extraesophageal invasion and regional lymph node metastases. In 10 patients the Authors correctly evaluated the tumoral depth invasion. In 5 patients mediastinal lymph node metastases were observed. It is concluded that EUS is a useful diagnostic method in the staging of esophageal carcinoma.
