Objective: This study investigated the patterns, predictors, and survival of recurrent disease following esophageal cancer surgery.
Background: Survival of recurrent esophageal cancer is usually poor, with limited prospects of remission.
Methods: This nationwide cohort study included patients with distal esophageal and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma after curatively intended esophagectomy in 2007 to 2016 (follow-up until January 2020).
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed trends in the treatment and outcomes for patients with distal esophageal and gastro-esophageal junction cancers in the Netherlands from 2007 to 2016.
- It found that the use of transthoracic esophagectomy, neo-adjuvant treatments, and minimally invasive surgery significantly increased during this period.
- Postoperative results improved, with lower complication rates, higher success in tumor removal, better lymph node retrieval, and longer survival times for patients.
