Can the depth of invasion of early esophageal cancer be predicted based on endoscopic appearances?

CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic assessment allows a rather accurate estimation of invasion depth of early esophageal cancer. To determine the final treatment modality however the final histological staging obtained by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is crucial.
