Optimal selection of endoscopic resection in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: endoscopic mucosal resection versus endoscopic submucosal dissection according to lesion size
DOTE Volume 34, Issue 5 | Editor's Choice
Free Article
The detection of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) has substantially improved with the routine use of narrow band imaging and chromoendoscopy with iodine staining.1,2 When esophageal squamous cell carcinomas are confined to the mucosal epithelium or the lamina propria (cT1a-EP or LPM), SESCC is only rarely associated with lymph node metastasis. Therefore, curative resection can be achieved via endoscopy without the need for additional treatments. Read the full Optimal selection of endoscopic resection article for free.
Quantitative fluorescence-guided perfusion assessment of the gastric conduit to predict anastomotic complications after esophagectomy
DOTE Volume 34, Issue 5 | Editor's Choice
Free Article
Treatment of esophageal cancer is based on a multidisciplinary strategy, in which surgery remains the cornerstone for treatment with curative intent. After esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, continuity can be restored by connecting the proximal esophagus to a gastric conduit. For the construction and pull-up of the gastric conduit for anastomosis, ligation of some of its supplying vessels is necessary.
