For a patient who has T4 squamous cell esophageal carcinoma on imaging, and who has biopsy-confirmed disease in an involved local lymph node, are EUS or EGD still indicated to complete workup?

EGD will help better define the mucosal extent of the disease. EUS would not help much but if upper thoracic, bronchoscopy may help to rule out invasion.
