Esophageal tumors are relatively rare. They present with typical symptoms in patients that consume spicy food, alcohol, enjoy cigarette smoking, and after alkaline solution ingestion. Considering their accessibility, they can be diagnosed in early stages. In recent years, the incidence of adenocarcinoma has increased in comparison to squamous cell carcinoma. This surge in the incidence is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett’s esophagus. Using better algorithms in the diagnosis and follow up of patients at risk, in the years to come we should diagnose patients at earlier stages of the disease.

Estrogen Promotes the Proliferation and Migration of Endometrial Cancer Through the GPER-Mediated NOTCH Pathway.
J Biochem Mol Toxicol
February 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
This study aims to investigate the expression of GPER in EC, assess the impact of estrogen on the proliferation and migration of EC via GPER, and examine the potential role of GPER in mediating the NOTCH pathway to influence EC proliferation and migration. The expression of GPER and its correlation with clinicopathological features were investigated using clinical data. Cell proliferation was assessed through MTT and EdU assays, while cell migration ability was evaluated using wound healing and transwell assays.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Yangzhou 225000, Jiangsu Province, China.
Background: The relationship between patient nutritional, immune, and inflammatory status is linked to tumor progression and prognosis. However, there are limited studies on the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after surgery based on the comprehensive indicators of these factors.
Aim: To develop and validate a novel nomogram based on a nutritional immune-inflammatory status (NIIS) score for predicting postoperative outcomes in ESCC.
A new NCL-targeting aptamer-drug conjugate as a promising therapy against esophageal cancer.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most common highly malignant tumors of the digestive system, with a poor prognosis under current treatment regimens. Nucleolin (NCL) is overexpressed in many tumors, and drugs specifically targeting NCL may offer a promising strategy for treating esophageal cancer. Here, we designed and prepared a novel aptamer-conjugated drug targeting NCL by AS1411 aptamer-human serum albumin (HSA)-the apoprotein of lidamycin (LDP)-active enediyne chromophore (AE), in order to achieve targeted treatment of esophageal cancer.

Department of General, Visceral and Transplantation Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.
Purpose: Oncological esophagectomy is the mainstay in esophageal cancer treatment, but perioperative mortality remains a significant concern. Various scoring systems exist to identify patients at high risk for postoperative complications and death. In the following, we aim to evaluate and compare these different scoring systems.

Langenbecks Arch Surg
January 2025
Division of General and Foregut Surgery, University of Milan, IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, San Donato Milanese (Milano), Italy.
Purpose: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most important complications that occurs after upper gastrointestinal surgery, registering rates of 20-30% after esophagectomy. The role of systemic inflammatory biomarkers to predict anastomotic leaks is controversial and needs systematization.
Methods: A systematic review based on the PRISMA guidelines criteria was performed.
