Table 8 Comparison of endoscopic ultrasonography and pathological staging

Endoscopic ultrasonography invasion depth	Pathological invasion depth			n
Endoscopic ultrasonography invasion depth	M (pT1a)	SM1 (pT1b)	SM2 (pT1b)	n
uT1a	60	68	0	68
uT1b	21	27	2	27
Total	81	95	2	95

M: Tumor is confined to the mucosa; pT1a: Pathological stage T1a, tumor confined to the mucosa (M layer); pT1b: Pathological stage T1b, tumor invading the submucosa (SM layer), further divided into SM1 (invasion < 500 μm from the muscularis mucosae) and SM2 (invasion ≥ 500 μm from the muscularis mucosae); SM1: Tumor invading the superficial submucosa (< 500 μm from the muscularis mucosae); SM2: Tumor invading the deep submucosa (≥ 500 μm); uT1a: Endoscopic ultrasonography stage T1a, tumor confined to the mucosa; uT1b: Endoscopic ultrasonography stage T1b, tumor invading the submucosa.
