The Japan Esophageal Society classification has been widely applied for predicting the invasion depth of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (SESCCs). Although Type B2 of the classification clinically corresponds to SESCCs with muscularis mucosa or slight submucosal invasion (MM/SM1), diagnostic yield based on Type B2 is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate risk factors for misdiagnosis in preoperative invasion depth staging.
