Between January 2015 and December 2019, 1271 cancer patients were diagnosed with cEP/LPM ESCC, of which 1195 (94.0%) were correctly diagnosed with pEP/LPM cancer. The PPV of cEP/LPM ESCC was related to lesion size. Treatment should be determined considering the high risk of cancer invasion into the muscularis mucosa or deeper in cEP/LPM cancers with a lesion size of ≥50 mm.
