Current Problems in Cancer, 1994
Esophageal cancer is an important problem in the United States. It results in more deaths (over 10,000 annually) than rectal cancer. Furthermore, the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is increasing at a rate faster than that of nearly any other cancer and the reasons for the increase are not well understood.

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2016
Esophageal cancer carries a poor prognosis among gastrointestinal malignancies. Although esophageal squamous cell carcinoma predominates worldwide, Western nations have seen a marked rise in the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma that parallels the obesity epidemic.

Esophageal cancer shows distinct geographic distributions, changing incidence rates, and primary risk factors when examined separately as squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma remains the dominant histologic type in many low- and middle-income countries and occurs frequently, while adenocarcinoma is classified as rare but ...

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1986
Early esophageal cancer (EEC) accounted for only seven (4.7%) of 148 cases of esophageal cancer diagnosed at the authors' hospital between 1977 and 1984. Two patients with EEC had squamous cell carcinoma and five had adenocarcinoma arising in Barrett's mucosa.

Nonresectable Esophageal Cancer
Gastroenterology Nursing, 1992Esophageal cancer is a devastating illness that has often metastasized before diagnosis. Diagnostic options include barium x-ray and endoscopy. Staging is most accurate using endoscopic ultrasonography. Treatment modalities that are widely used include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, dilatation, prosthesis placement, neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser

Accurate staging is imperative in the management of esophageal cancer Over the years, different treatment modalities have evolved, ranging from endoscopic resection to traditional surgical resection and multimodal approaches, including the addition of chemotherapy, with or without radiation. In this article, we discuss the different stage groups, which

Esophageal Cancer: Ultrasonography
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2009Esophageal malignancy is a major source of morbidity and mortality, despite the recently increased attention to screening and early detection. Prognosis for esophageal cancer remains grim, with advanced tumor stage and lymph node metastases conferring even graver outcomes.

Although the prognosis for patients with early cancer is good, throughout the world the majority of patients present with advanced disease, and in them, survival is poor. Accurate staging is essential to inform prognosis; to select candidates who may be cured by surgery alone; to select patients requiring neoadjuvant therapy, especially when new ...

Esophageal Cancer With Esophageal Duplication Cyst
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013Esophageal duplication cysts are benign, asymptomatic anomalies of foregut formation. We report a case of esophageal duplication cyst with esophageal squamous cancer. An upper endoscopy visualized with esophageal scan disclosed a stenotic lesion in the lower esophagus. Computed tomography images revealed a cystic mass in the inferior mediastinum, which
