Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary objective of this study is to document all cases of EUS in patients with esophageal cancer and determine if the inability to advance the gastroscope beyond the tumor correlates with locally advanced disease stage at Endoscopic Ultrasound.

- Endoscopic Ultrasound Staging
- description
- Prospective study of esophageal cancer patients referred for endoscopic ultrasound
- interventionNames
- Procedure: Endoscopic Ultrasound
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Evaluate the relationship between tightness of esophageal stricture encountered at endoscopy with cancer staging at EUS.
- timeFrame
- Intraoperative
- description
- The investigators hypothesize that if the stricture (cancer) in the esophagus is high-grade it will preclude passage of the endoscope and subjects on endoscopic ultrasound are likely to have advance-stage disease. An attempt will be made to correlate the relationship between stricture tightness and disease stage of esophageal cancer.
