Abstract		Endoscopic ultrasound, a combination of endoscopy and sonography, is a relatively new imaging procedure. The method is currently an accepted part of clinical practice in gastroenterology.

Tue author describes impact of EUS on diagnostical and therapeutical decisions of esophageal disease with an emphasize on esophageal cancer.
