OBJECTIVE. Our aim was to determine whether pelvic CT scans reveal clinically relevant information that would change treatment in the initial or follow-up radiologic examination of patients with esophageal cancer.

CONCLUSION. We observed that the addition of pelvic CT to 201 examinations of the chest and abdomen had a minimal effect on patient treatment. No pelvic examination changed the cancer stage, but three pelvic CT scans in three patients (3%) altered treatment.
