Key Points Question Is the performance of endoscopic ultrasonography after conventional endoscopy associated with improvements in diagnosing the invasion depth of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma? Findings In this diagnostic study of 372 patients with esophageal cancer, the performance of endoscopic ultrasonography after nonmagnifying and magnifying endoscopy was not associated with improvements in diagnostic performance for differentiating between submucosal and mucosal cancers in terms of overdiagnosis and accuracy. Meaning This study suggests that endoscopic ultrasonography after nonmagnifying and magnifying endoscopy is not helpful for evaluating the invasion depth of T1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
