Abstract
Over the past few decades, the survival of esophageal cancer patients has improved owing to early detection and advances in multimodality treatment strategies. Imaging plays an important role in every step in the management of esophageal cancer, including diagnosis, staging, assessment of treatment response, and post-treatment surveillance. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the role of imaging in these various time points of esophageal cancer management.
