Fig. 1. Overview of the staging of early oesophageal cancers based on their depth of invasion.

Fig. 1

Low-grade and high-grade dysplasia are confined to the epithelium. T1a tumours are separated based on their depth of invasion (m1-3). T1b tumours invade into the submucosal layer and are further subdivided based on depth of invasion (sm1-3).
