Evaluation of MRI for initial staging of esophageal cancer: the STIRMCO study
Question Can MRI help improve the TNM staging of esophageal cancer? Findings MRI + PET/CT showed no statistically significant difference compared to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) + CT + PET/CT in identifying curative vs palliative patients but with a tendency for improved staging. Clinical relevance Thoraco-abdominal MRI can provide added value (as a replacement of CT and EUS) in initial staging of esophagus cancer, particularly in cases of stenotic or advanced tumors.
