Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with regional variations in histological subtypes. Adenocarcinoma predominates in Western countries, whereas squamous cell carcinoma is more common in Asia. Despite advances in multimodal therapy, esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment, and the development of various ...

Impact of Combined Additional Resections on the Surgical Outcomes of Robot‐Assisted Resection of Thymic Epithelial Tumors

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Robot‐assisted thoracoscopy (RATS) is rapidly emerging as the preferred approach for the resection of thymic epithelial tumors (TET). Current challenges include the role of RATS in locally advanced disease and combined additional resections.
