EUS-Guided Esophageal Fiducial Biomarker Placement For Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy In A Superficial Cancer

A 59-year-old man diagnosed of superficial esophageal adenocarcinoma and proposed for curative stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

A post-radiotherapy esophageal stricture did not allow passage of any scope. Dilation with CRE 10-12-mm balloon was performed and scope passage was feasible. One mucosal esophageal nodular area was. EUS-guided puncture using 22-Ga preloaded gold fiducial needle was performed, delivering of one and two perilesional fiducials within proximal border and distal border of the lesion area respectively. Recommendation for SBRT was made. Five-month control by CT-scanner revealed absence of tumoral signs. EUS-guided fiducial placement in esophageal cancer facilitates the efficacy of SBRT.
