¹The depth of four lesions that were not resected (n = 3) or had an unknown treatment result (n = 1) were determined clinically: T1a (n = 2) and T1b (n = 2);

²Two cases overlapped: surgery following noncurative endoscopic resection (n = 1) and chemoradiotherapy following noncurative endoscopic resection (n = 1). Ae: Abdominal esophagus; Ce: Cervical esophagus; Lt: Lower thoracic esophagus; Mt: Middle thoracic esophagus; SCC: Squamous cell carcinoma; Ut: Upper thoracic esophagus.
