Comparative analysis of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery vs robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal leiomyoma enucleation: a multi-institutional propensity score-weighted study.

Long-term trajectories of health-related quality of life after curative surgery in early-stage esophageal cancer: A prospective cohort study in Korea.

INTRODUCTION Although esophagectomy offers curative potential, patients commonly experience persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and reduced quality of life after surgery. While most health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data are derived from Western adenocarcinoma populations, East Asian patients predominantly have s...

Clinical Application of Circulating Tumor DNA in Surgically Treated Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

While the initial ctDNA detection rate correlated with pTNM stages, no significant association was found with other pathological features and ctDNA may be helpful for monitoring recurrence in patients with ESCC.

PD05.09. Spatial Multi-Omics Reveals Co-Evolution of Cancer Cells and Tumor Microenvironment During Esophageal Cancer Progression

NRF2-driven immune exclusion is relevant to immunotherapy resistance, while EMT-driven co-evolution with COL10A1+COL11A1+ myCAFs induces desmoplastic reactions induces desmoplastic reactions, which provide new insights into immune evasion mechanisms and metastatic timing in ESCC.
