Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from any analysis with regard to the prediction of invasion depth: - No data on histological invasion depth available. - Patients who underwent esophagectomy with neoadjuvant (chemo)radiation therapy.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The overall accuracy of the JES-classification for predicting the invasion depth of ESCC | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Presence and size of avascular areas in the esophageal squamous cell lesions. - Paris-classification of the esophageal squamous cell lesions. - Presence of intervascular background coloration. - Positive/negative pink color sign with Lugol’s iodine staining. - The predicted invasion depth of the esophageal squamous cell lesions considering the above mentioned parameters. - Inter- and intraobserver agreement between Western expert endoscopists and non-expert endoscopists, and Japanese endoscopists. | — |
