Abstract:
At present,although magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)is not a routine examination of esophageal cancer,the preliminary results of some studies have indicated that MRI may become an important alternative for esophageal cancer staging, radiotherapy target delineation, and efficacy assessment. This article mainly discusses the value of MRI in the staging and radiotherapy for esophageal cancer.
