Overview[edit | edit source]

Laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and bronchoscopy can be used in addition to EUS and CT in locally advanced esophageal cancer to accurately diagnose and stage lymph node metastasis.

Other Diagnostic Studies[edit | edit source]

Laparoscopy and Thoracoscopy[edit | edit source]

Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic staging can be used to more accurately stage regional lymph nodes (particularly celiac and intrathoracic) as compared to EUS.^[1]^[2]
They can be used to determine intraperitoneal metstases in those patients with distal esophageal adenocarcinomas.^[3]
Furthermore, laparoscopy and thoracoscopy is used to limit aggressive treatment in those who have a locally advanced cancer.

Bronchoscopy[edit | edit source]

Preoperative bronchoscopy with biopsy and brush cytology has been implemented recently as the last phase in staging workup in those with a locally advanced tumor that is located at or above the carina.^[4]
