ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in assessing endoscopic re-sectability of early esophagogastric cancer. Methods Data of 65 consecutive cases suspected as having early esophagogastric cancer with EUS and confirmed by pathology after endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscop-ic submucosal dissection within 2 weeks were retrospectively analyzed. The invasion depth of the lesion de-tected by EUS was compared with that from pathology. Results The accuracy of EUS in diagnosis of depth of early cancer invasion was 93.8% (61/65), and the overall accuracy in assessment of endoscopic resectabili-ty was 89. 2%. Conclusion Endoscopic resectability of early esophagogastric cancer can be accurately eval-uated with EUS.
