Abstract:
The study carried out 28 patients whose endoscopic images were doubted esophageal carcinoma. These patients were diagnosing and staging by endoscopic ultrasonography. The results show that 24 cases were diagnosed esophageal carcinoma by endoscopic ultrasonography in which 23 cases were reidentified by biopsy or surgery. One case was not reidentified because this patient has no surgery and biopsy (-). 4 cases were diagnosed non esophageal carcinoma by endoscopic ultrasonography and reidentified by surgery, biopsy and treatment. 12 cases were operated to evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography in infiltrative stage and local lymph node. This data pointed out that the true endoscopic of ultrasonography was 10/12 (84%) in T stage and 9/11 (81%) in N stage. The study showed primarily that endoscopic ultrasonography was a quanlitative method in diagnosis of esophageal carcinoma.
