Abstract
Esophagography and endoscopy have long been used for evaluation of patients with esophageal carcinoma. Recently these have been supplemented by computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Our institution has shown great interest in EUS because of its high degree of sensitivity in small lesions and its accuracy in the preoperative staging of esophageal carcinoma.
