Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Imaging in Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer", emphasizes the diagnostic capabilities of various imaging modalities in detecting and staging esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). It showcases the latest research advancements in the field, emphasizing the crucial role of imaging in the early detection, precise localization, and accurate staging of this aggressive malignancy. The articles delve into the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of techniques, such as high-resolution computed tomography (CT), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine-needle aspiration, and positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT), in identifying tumor extent, assessing lymph node involvement, and detecting distant metastases. This Special Issue also explores the emerging role of advanced imaging techniques, including diffusion-weighted MRI and functional imaging methods, in providing additional diagnostic information that can guide personalized treatment planning. Overall, this Special Issue highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging strategies for optimizing the diagnosis and subsequent management of ESCC patients.
