A 69-year-old man presented with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer was enrolled in our clinical trial of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT study in tumors. Increased tracer uptake was noted in esophageal cancer. In addition, the facet joint osteoarthritis of T7/8 vertebrae also revealed elevated 68Ga-FAPI uptake.

Background: The Modified Inflation-Deflation Method (MIDM) is widely used in China in pulmonary segmentectomies. We optimized the procedure, which was named as Blood Flow Blocking Method (BFBM), also known as "No-Waiting Segmentectomy". This method has produced commendable clinical outcomes in segmentectomies.

Background: Immunochemotherapy is inevitably accompanied with treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). However, TRAEs are typically assessed at a single time point, overlooking the complexity of TRAE trajectories over time. This study aimed to characterize TRAE trajectories during multi-cycle neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (nICT) and identify potential prognostic factors for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is an aggressive cancer characterized by a high risk of relapse post-surgery. Current follow-up methods (serum carcinoembryonic antigen detection and PET-CT) lack sensitivity and reliability, necessitating a novel approach. Analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood plasma emerges as a promising avenue.

Preoperative inflammatory burden index for prognostication in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing radical resection.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Hangzhou Institute of Medicine (HIM), Key Laboratory Diagnosis and Treatment Technology on Thoracic Oncology, Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China.

Background: The Inflammatory burden Index (IBI) is an effective predictor for a range of malignancies. However, the significance of IBI in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) needs to be further verified. The aim of this study was to verify the predictive power of IBI in ESCC undergoing radical resection.
