T2N0M0 esophageal cancer [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2007 The study objective was to develop a treatment algorithm for cT2N0M0 esophageal cancer by determining (1) errors in clinical staging and (2) consequences of overtreatment and undertreatment of incorrectly clinically staged patients.Of 742 clinically staged patients, 61 (8.2%) had cT2N0M0 cancer; 45 underwent surgery alone; 8 underwent surgery and ...

Radiochemotherapy of Esophageal Cancer [PDF]
Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 2007 Cancer of the esophagus continues to be a threat to public health. The common practice is esophagectomy for surgically resectable tumors and radiochemotherapy for locally advanced, unresectable tumors.

Esophageal submucosa: The watershed for esophageal cancer [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011 Submucosal esophageal cancers (pT1b) are considered superficial, implying good survival. However, some are advanced, metastasizing to regional lymph nodes. Interplay of cancer characteristics and lymphatic anatomy may create a watershed, demarcating low-risk from high-risk cancers.

Epidemiology of esophageal cancer
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013 Esophageal cancer (EsC) is one of the least studied and deadliest cancers worldwide because of its extremely aggressive nature and poor survival rate. It ranks sixth among all cancers in mortality. In retrospective studies of EsC, smoking, hot tea drinking, red meat consumption, poor oral health, low intake of fresh fruit and vegetables, and low ...
