Evaluating the usefulness of considering the size and morphological type of type B2 vessel area based on Japan Esophageal Society classification in estimating tumor invasion depth in superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas: study protocol for a prospective observational study (Japan BEES study)

Evaluating the usefulness of considering the size and morphological type of type B2 vessel area based on Japan Esophageal Society classification in estimating tumor invasion depth in superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas: study protocol for a prospective observational study (Japan BEES study)

Abstract Background Accurate evaluation of tumor invasion depth is essential to determine the appropriate treatment strategy for patients with superficial esophageal cancer. The pretreatment tumor depth diagnosis currently relies on the magnifying endoscopic classification established by the Japan E...
