Palliative radiotherapy in addition to self-expanding metal stent for improving dysphagia and survival in advanced oesophageal cancer (ROCS: Radiotherapy after Oesophageal Cancer Stenting):study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundThe single most distressing symptom for patients with advanced esophageal cancer is dysphagia. Amongst the more effective treatments for relief of dysphagia is insertion of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS).

Esophageal submucosa: The watershed for esophageal cancer [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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.

Left thoracoscopic approach in the supine position for torsion of the residual esophagus after esophagectomy: a case report

open access: yesSurgical Case Reports, 2022
Background Anastomotic stenosis can occur after esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction. The effective surgical treatment for refractory anastomotic stenosis, which seems difficult to resolve with endoscopic treatment, has not been established.

Imaging of esophageal cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Imaging, 2004
Esophageal cancer is a relatively uncommon gastrointestinal malignancy but carries a poor prognosis unless it is of early stage and can be surgically resected for cure. Resectability is determined by the stage of disease at diagnosis and therefore accurate staging is of importance in patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
