Background: To assess the utilization of EUS-FNA for staging esophageal cancer and its impact on surgical resection. Methods: A 15 question survey was distributed via email to thoracic surgeons. This survey included questions related to clinical practice patterns. Two case vignettes were used to assess if EUS-FNA of lymph nodes changed therapeutic decisions. Results: 61 thoracic surgeons responded to the survey (29% response rate). 85% practice in an academic institution exclusively. 90% personally perform more than 10 esophagectomies per year with 29% performing greater than 40 per year. |
