Background: The presence of multiple primary cancers (MPCs) in patients with esophageal cancer often presents physicians with a difficult therapeutic decision, because little is known about the appropriate treatment and long-term survival. The purpose of this study was to evaluate appropriate surgical approaches and long-term survival after surgery for esophageal cancer associated with MPCs.
Methods: Data from 622 patients who underwent surgery for primary esophageal cancer between 1989 and 2008 were reviewed retrospectively to identify the presence of MPCs.
Results: A total of 96 MPCs were identified in 90 (14.5 %) patients. The three leading MPCs were stomach cancer (n = 36, 37.5 %), head and neck cancer (n = 18, 18.8 %), and lung cancer (n = 18, 18.8 %). The rate of curative resections for both esophageal cancer and MPCs was 87.5 % (28/32) in patients with stomach cancer, 47.1 % (8/17) in head and neck cancer, and 52.9 % (9/17) in lung cancer (P = 0.006). The 5-year survival rates after surgery for esophageal cancer in patients associated with stomach, lung, and head and neck cancer were 52.7, 27.0, and 9.2 %, respectively (P = 0.011).
Conclusions: A range of surgical approaches for esophageal cancer is available in patients associated with MPCs. However, curative resections for primary esophageal cancer associated with MPCs are feasible in highly selected patients. Therefore, a multidisciplinary team management approach is essential for customized treatment strategies in patients with esophageal cancer associated with MPCs.

: We constructed a prediction model to predict a 2-year locoregional recurrence based on the clinical features and radiomic features extracted from the machine learning method using computed tomography (CT) before definite chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) in locally advanced esophageal cancer. : A total of 264 patients (156 in Beijing, 87 in Tianjin, and 21 in Jiangsu) were included in this study. All those locally advanced esophageal cancer patients received definite radiotherapy and were randomly divided into five subgroups with a similar number and divided into training groups and validation groups by five cross-validations.

Introduction: Transhiatal esophagectomy (THE) is used for specific gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas. THE is a high-risk surgical procedure. We aimed to assess the impact of postoperative sepsis (sepsis or septic shock) on the 1-year mortality after THE and to determine the risk factors associated with these outcomes.

Background: Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) and sarcopenia are prevalent conditions in gastrointestinal cancer patients, whose early diagnosis is essential to establish a nutritional treatment that contributes to optimizing adverse outcomes and improving prognosis. Phase angle (PhA) and rectus femoris ultrasound measurements are considered effort-independent markers of muscle wasting, which remains unrecognized in oncology patients.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the potential utility of PhA, rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RFCSA), and rectus femoris thickness (RF-Y-axis) in predicting malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients with esophagogastric cancer (EGC).

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is an aggressive gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy with increasing incidence. Despite the recent progress in targeted therapies and surgical approaches, the survival rates of esophageal adenocarcinoma patients remain poor. The Dickkopf (DKK) proteins are secretory proteins known mainly as antagonists of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is considered an oncogene.

Background: In this study, we retrospectively examined the prognostic significance of the pathological status of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) and surgery.
Methods: Data of patients with cT2-4aN0-3 stage ESCC who underwent NCRT and esophagectomy during 2014-2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Survival differences were compared according to revised TN (rTN) stage (ypT0N0, ypT + N0, ypT0N+, and ypT + N+) using univariate and Cox regression analyses.
