We report on the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for the staging of esophageal carcinoma for operability, including the diagnosis of infiltrating depth and lymph node metastases. The accurate diagnosis of the depth of invasion of a carcinoma by means of EUS was achieved in 75% of all cases. Concerning the evaluation of resectability, it should therefore be concluded that EUS can provide us with accurate information on the invasion of the carcinoma beyond the adventitia and/or its distant metastatic growth to the neighboring organs including lymph nodes. From this investigation it can be concluded that EUS is an excellent method for the staging of esophageal carcinoma with regard to its operability.
我们报告了内镜超声检查（EUS）在评估食管癌可切除性分期中的应用价值，包括浸润深度和淋巴结转移的诊断。在所有病例中，75%的病例通过EUS准确诊断出癌的浸润深度。因此，关于可切除性的评估，可以得出结论，EUS能够为我们提供有关癌组织超出外膜的浸润情况和/或其向包括淋巴结在内的邻近器官远处转移生长的准确信息。从这项研究可以得出结论，就可切除性而言，EUS是一种评估食管癌分期的极佳方法。
