Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly disease, partly because it is often diagnosed late in disease stage. An accurate early diagnosis by endoscopy could detect advanced carcinoma as well as curable dysplasia and early ESCC. This could save patients from incurable advanced malignancy. Important progress has been made in high-quality endoscopic diagnosis, including magnifying endoscopy, narrowband imaging, and other image enhancement, as well as in techniques in endoscopic resection. These emerging techniques will aid the early diagnosis of ESCC that lead to higher chance of curing the cancer.
食管鳞状细胞癌（ESCC）是一种致命的疾病，部分原因是它通常在疾病晚期才被诊断出来。通过内窥镜进行准确的早期诊断可以检测到晚期癌以及可治愈的异型增生和早期 ESCC。这可以使患者免于无法治愈的晚期恶性肿瘤。在高质量的内窥镜诊断方面取得了重要进展，包括放大内窥镜、窄带成像和其他图像增强技术以及内窥镜切除技术。这些新兴技术将有助于早期诊断 ESCC，从而提高治愈癌症的机会。
