Introduction to Radical Esophagectomy

Background The only curative treatment for most esophageal cancers is radical esophagectomy.

To evaluate if nutritional supplements can attenuate postoperative catabolism in esophageal cancer patients after radical esophagectomy.

All patients included had received neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus nab-paclitaxel and S1 capsule followed by radical esophagectomy.

Methods Twenty-six preoperative and postoperative variables were retrospectively collected from esophageal cancer patients who were treated with radical esophagectomy from January 2018 to June 2020 in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University.

These two thin membranous dense connective tissues, which are considered to represent the visceral sheath and vascular sheath, are thought to be available as optimal dissecting layers for radical esophagectomy.

There has been much debate on whether to perform TD resection in radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer from the perspectives of metastatic rate, effect on postoperative hemodynamics, and other factors.

Methods We performed a quantitative proteomics analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) with reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RPLC-MS) to identify differential expression proteins (DEPs) between a locoregional recurrence group and good prognosis group of ESCC after radical esophagectomy.

Conclusion Certain patterns exist in lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer, and in radical esophagectomy of esophageal cancers, dissection of the left gastric artery lymph nodes is necessary to prevent possible residual or metastasis of esophageal squamous carcinomas based on the lymphatic drainage pathway of esophageal carcinomas demonstrated by carbon nanoparticle labeling.

We aimed to establish a novel nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) of EC patients after radical esophagectomy.

Background Both diaphragmatic hernia and thoracic gastropericardial fistula rarely occur simultaneously in patients with radical esophagectomy.

Methods Patients diagnosed with locally advanced ESCC were retrospectively included if they had received neoadjuvant camrelizumab plus nab-paclitaxel and S1 capsule followed by radical esophagectomy between November, 2019 and June, 2020 at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.

However, in radical esophagectomy, understanding the concepts of the fascia and compartment is crucial for successful and reliable dissection.

To evaluate the necessity, safety, and feasibility of left inferior pulmonary ligament lymphadenectomy during video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) radical esophagectomy via the right thoracic approach.

The incidence of TDLN metastasis is reported to be approximately 2–11%, and some esophageal cancer patients have TDLN recurrence after radical esophagectomy.

Background For patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma or cancer of the gastroesophageal junction, radical esophagectomy with 2-field lymphadenectomy is the cornerstone of the multimodality treatment with curative intent.

Using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox-regression analysis, this study retrospectively analyzed the overall survival (OS) for 2325 ESCC patients after radical esophagectomy at three high-volume esophageal cancer centers.

MATERIALS/METHODS The study retrospectively reviewed 3652 TESCC patients in stage I-III after radical esophagectomy, with or without PORT.

Results : Ninety two percent of all recurrent cases were observed within two years after radical esophagectomy.

BACKGROUND One cause of anastomotic leakage after radical esophagectomy is blood flow insufficiency at the cervical anastomosis site.

The study included 141 esophageal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy after radical esophagectomy at Tohoku University Hospital from April 2008 to December 2017.

Methods Clinical data of 66 TESCC patients who recurred after the radical esophagectomy in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from 2011 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.

BackgroundRecurrences after radical esophagectomy are common.

Methods We retrospectively examined 111 patients who received NAC followed by radical esophagectomy between January 2011 and September 2015.

5%, respectively, whereas, if the combination of positive FDG uptake and type B2 and B3 was defined as an indicator for radical esophagectomy or definitive chemoradiotherapy, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were 78.

Background The Chinese expert consensus on thoracic lymph node (LN) dissection in radical esophagectomy (Chinese Criteria, 2017 edition) was newly promoted.

This article describes a case of ECS that was effectively treated with radical esophagectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy.

BackgroundWe previously developed a novel non-trans thoracic esophagectomy, the single-port inflatable mediastinoscopy combined with laparoscopy for the radical esophagectomy of esophageal cancer.

It has been described as a new non-transthoracic esophagectomy that the single-port inflatable mediastinoscopy and laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective for the radical esophagectomy of esophageal cancer.

A total of 84 patients with pathologic T3N0M0 ESCC treated with radical esophagectomy and 3-field lymphadenectomy (3-FL) from January 2008 to December 2009 in our center were analyzed.

Surgical manipulation considering tracheal blood flow is important in radical esophagectomy with extensive lymph node dissection.

In China, radical esophagectomy remains the main strategy for resectable esophageal cancer.

Radical esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer is invasive and frequently results in postoperative pulmonary complications.

Recent clinical studies on radical esophagectomy without thoracotomy for ESCC have been reported from Japan.
