Table 1 Technologies for detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Technology Quantitative Qualitative Advantages Disadvantage Ref .Endoscopy - + (1) Obvious observation of esophageal mucosal changes, lesion changes, and lesion size and morphology; and (2) Low false negative rate and false positive rate (1) Invasiveness; (2) Easy to cause complications such as sore throat after examination; and (3) High cost [15 ,16 ] Blood-based biomarker + + (1) Non-invasive; (2) Easy to operate; (3) Low cost; (4) Suitable as a screening tool; and (5) Identification of asymptomatic patients at risk High false Negative rate and false positive rate [16 - 18 ]
