Response Evaluation by Endoscopy, Rebiopsy, and Endoscopic Ultrasound Does Not Accurately Predict Histopathologic Regression After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation for Esophageal Cancer

Abstract

Histomorphologic regression is an objective response parameter of significant prognostic importance. The diagnostic accuracy of endoscopy, rebiopsy, and EUS is inadequate for objective response evaluation after neoadjuvant chemoradiation and can be omitted for this purpose in the clinical practice.
