EUS with the water-filled balloon method is a safe and straightforward method that can be performed on lesions clinically diagnosed as MM/SM1 using ME-NBI. We retrospectively reviewed lesions in patients diagnosed with ESCC and evaluated them using magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) and endoscopic ultrasound using the water-filled balloon method (EUS-B). We conclude that EUS-B can increase the diagnostic accuracy.
