  • Clinical characteristics of 57 patients with early stage esophageal cancer or precancerosis treated with esophagectomy following endoscopic submucosal dissection

    Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients treated with esophagectomy following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early stage esophageal cancer or precancerosis and the reasons for esophagectomy. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 57 patients who were treated with esophagectomy following ESD in West China Hospital and Shanxian Hygeia Hospital from January 2012 through October 2016. There were 42 males and 15 females at age of 65.4 (52–77) years. There were 15 patients of upper thoracic lesions, the middle thoracic lesions in 34 patients, and the lower thoracic lesions in 8 patients. Results The reasons for esophagectomy included 3 patients with residual tumor, 8 patients with local recurrence, 37 patients with esophageal stricture, and 9 patients with dysphagia, although the diameter was larger than 1.0 cm. The pathology after esophagectomy revealed that tumor was found in 16 patients, including 3 patients with residual tumor and 8 with recurrent tumor confirmed before esophagectomy, and 5 patients with new-found recurrent tumor. Conclusion In the treatment of early stage esophageal cancer or precancerosis, the major reasons for esophagectomy following ESD include esophageal stricture, abnormal esophageal dynamics, local residual or recurrence.

  • Development and future of the minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer

    In this review, development and application of the minimally invasive esophagectomy(MIE) for esophageal cancer are discussed including the types of MIE procedures, short- and long- term outcome after MIE; as well the future of MIE is forecasted. Main procedures of MIE performed currently include esophagectomy via thoracoscopy and laparoscopy and cervical esophagogastrosty, Ivor-Lewis MIE via thoracoscopy and laparoscopy, and hiatal MIE. Ivor-Lewis MIE gradually becomes a standard surgical option for the cancer of distal esophagus or esophagogastric junction while the solution of intrathoracic anastomosis via thoracoscopy has achieved. Several methods of intrathoracic anastomosis are reported such as hand-sewn, circular stapler, side-to-side and triangular anastomosis. MIE could decrease operative blood loss, shorten hospital stay and ICU stay, reduce postoperative especially pulmonary complications, and harvest more lymph nodes compared to open esophagectomy. The long-term survival has been proved similar with that after open esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. MIE has developed rapidly in recent years with some aspects in future prospectively: individual MIE treatment and quality of life, fast track after surgery, and robot-assisted MIE, as well the endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal cancer is mentioned.
