AI Article Synopsis
- Advanced esophageal cancer has a poor prognosis, making early detection of esophageal neoplasms like dysplasia and early cancer crucial for effective treatment.
- These early-stage conditions are often subtle and can be easily overlooked, emphasizing the need for proper evaluation of the cancer's invasion depth for successful treatment.
- Image-enhanced endoscopy techniques have progressed and significantly aid in the early detection and assessment of invasion depth of esophageal cancer, potentially increasing chances for curative treatment.
Article Abstract
Advanced esophageal cancer is known to have a poor prognosis. The early detection of esophageal neoplasms, including esophageal dysplasia and early esophageal cancer, is highly important for the accurate treatment of the disease. However, esophageal dysplasia and early esophageal cancer are usually subtle and can be easily missed. In addition to the early detection, proper pretreatment evaluation of the depth of invasion of esophageal cancer is very important for curative treatment. The progression of non-invasive diagnosis via image-enhanced endoscopy techniques has been shown to aid the early detection and estimate the depth of invasion of early esophageal cancer and, as a result, may provide additional opportunities for curative treatment. Here, we review the advancement of image-enhanced endoscopy-related technologies and their role in the early identification of esophageal neoplasms.
