Article Synopsis
- Aichi Target 11 aimed to protect at least 17% of terrestrial areas by 2020, but Asia significantly underperformed with only 13.2% protected, raising concerns for the 30% goal by 2030.
- The study found that 73.1% of terrestrial ecoregions in Asia had less than 17% representation, and only 7% of protected areas were assessed for management effectiveness, indicating major gaps in conservation efforts.
- To help meet post-2020 biodiversity targets, the authors recommend improving reporting and conservation measures, restoring degraded landscapes, and enhancing transboundary protected areas.
Over the last decades, the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer has evolved into a multidisciplinary process in which all players are essential for treatment to be successful. Medical oncologists and radiation oncologists have been increasingly involved since the implementation of neoadjuvant therapy, which has been shown to improve survival. Although esophagectomy is still considered the cornerstone of curative treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer, it remains associated with considerable postoperative morbidity, despite promising results of minimally invasive techniques.
