Overview

There are no echocardiography findings associated with esophageal cancer. However, an endoscopic ultrasound may be helpful in staging of esophageal cancer showing location, spread and resectability.

Ultrasound

Endoscopic Ultrasound[4] Sensitivity Specificity
Detection of celiac lymph nodes metastases 85% 96%
Detection of regional lymph node metastases 80% 70%
Shows a mass detected on endoscopy (blue arrow) and the same mass is viewed using endoscopic ultrasound (yellow arrow). Source: commons.wikimedia.org by Samir at the English language Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3231456
