Objectives: Salvage endoscopic resection is recommended when the local recurrence at primary site after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is localized and superficial. This retrospective study aimed to comparatively analyse the short-term outcomes and local control of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection versus salvage endoscopic mucosal resection for local recurrence after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy.

Methods: A total of 96 patients who underwent initial salvage endoscopic resection for cT1N0M0 local recurrence after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma between December 1998 and August 2019 patients were assigned to either the salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection (40 patients; 40 lesions) or salvage endoscopic mucosal resection (56 patients; 56 lesions) group. We evaluated the en bloc and R0 resection rates, severe adverse events and local failure rate after salvage endoscopic resection. Multivariate analysis was conducted to identify risk factors of local failure after salvage endoscopic resection.

Results: The en bloc resection rate was significantly higher in the salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection group than in the salvage endoscopic mucosal resection group (95% versus 63%; P < 0.001). There were no differences in R0 resection rate between the two groups (73% versus 52%, P = 0.057). One patient (3%) in the salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection group had perforation. The 3-year cumulative local failure rate of salvage endoscopic mucosal resection was significantly higher than that of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection (27% versus 5%, P = 0.032). In multivariate analysis, salvage endoscopic mucosal resection (hazard ratio: 2.7, P = 0.044) was the only independent risk factor of local failure after salvage endoscopic resection.

Conclusions: Salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection is the effective treatment for local recurrence based on the short-term outcomes and local efficacy.

Systematic review of free jejunal flap for secondary esophageal reconstruction.

Introduction: Esophagus reconstruction could be complicated by leakage, stenosis or graft loss. Salvage surgery may be needed in case of failure of endoscopic treatment or large esophagus defect. Although free jejunal flap is admitted for salvage head and neck reconstruction, few reports assess the results of free jejunal interposition in salvage esophagus reconstruction.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy affecting the sinonasal tract. Local recurrence is the main pattern of treatment failure, affecting nearly half of patients treated for primary sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). Due to disease rarity and heterogeneity of practices, there are limited guidelines for how to diagnose and care for these patients.

Salvage surgery for oesophageal cancer: The need for more intensive surveillance.

Background: There is currently no consensus on the role, method or frequency of surveillance following curative treatment of oesophageal cancer; re-investigation largely relying on symptom triggers which may delay detection of recurrence and impact survival. We hypothesised that intensive surveillance with endoscopy and imaging was more likely to detect recurrent or new cancer at a curable stage and this study examined the outcomes of this surveillance policy.

Patients And Methods: A prospective database of curatively treated oesophageal carcinoma patients was interrogated for patients with new or recurrent disease detected on surveillance and amenable to salvage surgery.

Introduction: Locoregional recurrence (LR) is common in locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNSCC), posing challenges for treatment. We analysed outcome parameters and toxicities for patients being treated with radiotherapy (RT) for LR-HNSCC and investigated patient and disease related prognostic factors in this prognostically unfavourable group.

Methods: This analysis includes 101 LR-HNSCC patients treated with RT, radio-chemotherapy (RCT) or radio-immunotherapy (RIT) between 2010 and 2018 at a high-volume tertiary centre.
