Article Synopsis
- The study found that missed oesophageal cancer (MEC) occurs in 6.4% of diagnosed cases, highlighting a need for improved detection methods.
- MEC is more likely to be smaller and less frequently metastasized at diagnosis compared to other types of oesophageal cancer (non-MEC).
- The research indicates that the overall survival rates for MEC and non-MEC patients after two years are similar, emphasizing the need for better endoscopy practices to improve outcomes.
