A young man in his 30s presented to us with multiple episodes of syncope and exertional dyspnoea for the last 2 weeks. He was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower one-third of the oesophagus in 2021 for which he was treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by McKeown oesophagectomy. At 2-year follow-up, he had developed a soft tissue swelling in the scalp, which was diagnosed as a tumour recurrence and radiotherapy was initiated.

Background & Aims: There is conflicting literature describing the durability of complete remission of intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) after endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) for Barrett's esophagus (BE). We aim to assess the timeline, predictors and long-term outcomes of recurrence.
Methods: Data on 365 patients who underwent EET for dysplastic BE were collected prospectively between 2008 and 2022 at a Barrett's referral unit.
Introduction: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has one of the poorest cancer prognosis rates; there is an urgent need to develop new drug therapies and biomarkers. CD63, a tetraspanin protein and well-known exosomal marker, is implicated in cancer progression; however, the significance of CD63 expression in ESCC remains unclear. Herein, we report the significance of CD63 expression by analyzing ESCC patient samples and ESCC cell lines.

Recent studies have demonstrated that chronic stress can enhance the development of multiple human diseases, including cancer. However, the role of chronic stress in esophageal carcinogenesis and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study uncovered that dysregulated cholesterol metabolism significantly promotes esophageal carcinogenesis under chronic stress conditions.
