Abstract

Since invasion depth and lymphatic metastases are strongly associated, preoperative diagnosis of invasion depth is important in therapeutic decision-making. Invasion depth diagnosis of superficial cancer is performed mainly with endoscopy, magnification endoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). In this section, invasion depth diagnosis is explained for endoscopy and magnification endoscopy.
