Aim: Comparing the safety, effectiveness, and mid-term survival rates of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and video-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (VAMIE).
Methods: A total of 842 patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy were analyzed, including 694 patients in VAMIE group and 148 in RAMIE group. PSM analysis was applied to generate matched pairs for further comparison.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and validate a radiomics model that predicts hidden locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC) using computed tomography (CT) data before treatment starts.
- Researchers analyzed data from 574 patients and used various machine learning techniques to identify key radiomic features, ultimately developing a predictive tool that combines these features with clinical data.
- The best model, a multilayer perceptron (MLP), showed high accuracy in distinguishing LA-ESCC, indicating that this approach can significantly help clinicians make better treatment decisions.
Background: The effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapy in esophageal cancer (EC) treatment is still a subject of debate.
Aim: To compare the clinical efficacy and toxic side effects between neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) for locally advanced EC (LAEC).
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Science Direct, The Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database Article.
Controversy about the adequate extent of lymph node (LN) dissection persists in surgery for thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The present study estimates the feasibility and strategy of common hepatic artery LN dissection during ESCC surgery.The clinical data of 482 patients with ESCC, who underwent thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, were retrospectively selected.

Objective: To summarize early experience in combined thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy with two-field lymph node dissection for esophageal carcinoma.
Methods: A total of 150 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy in Union Hospital, Fujan Medical University, were enrolled in this study.
Results: Locations of the tumors included upper esophagus (n=14), middle esophagus (n=95), and lower esophagus (n=41).
