Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with esophageal cancer. However, an ultrasound may be helpful in staging of esophageal cancer.
Ultrasound
- An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is the initial test used in staging esophageal cancer.
- It can be used to take a biopsy via esophageal ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS - FNA).
- EUS can determine the following features:[1][2][3]
- Location
- Degree of spread within the smooth muscle layers
- Regional lymph node spread
- Metastasis to organs
- Resectability
- Used prognostically to determine remission
