Clinical Outcomes of Esophagectomy and Chemoradiotherapy After Endoscopic Resection for Superficial Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background/aim: Surgical resection and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can be performed as additional treatments for superficial esophageal cancer after endoscopic resection, but the selection criteria vary depending on the institution. We retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of patients with endoscopically resected superficial esophageal cancer treated with surgical resection and CRT at our institution.

Patients And Methods: The outcomes of 67 cases of additional treatment after endoscopic resection of superficial esophageal cancer, excluding adenocarcinoma, performed at our hospital from January 2000 to June 2017 were compared (30 cases in the surgery group and 37 cases in the CRT group).
