Cancer of the Esophagus and Esophagogastric Junction: An Eighth Edition Staging Primer.

TLDR
This primer for eighth edition staging of esophageal and esophagogastric epithelial cancers presents separate classifications for the clinical, pathologic, and postneoadjuvant pathologic stage groups, which are no longer shared.

Retrospective study: The diagnostic accuracy of conventional forceps biopsy of gastric epithelial compared to endoscopic submucosal dissection (STROBE compliant).

TL;DR: According to the analysis, old men plus gastric fundus or antrum of CFB were strongly suggested to perform ESD if precancerous lesions were found and young women with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia could select regular follow-up.

Comparative Molecular Analyses of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, and Gastric Adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: The genomic heterogeneity of gastroesophageal cancers is highlighted, showing striking molecular differences between tumors originating from different locations, supporting the fact that adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas are completely different diseases, irrespective of the tumor location.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative pembrolizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (PALACE-1).

TL;DR: In this article, the safety and activity of preoperative pembrolizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy for resectable oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robotic-assisted Esophagectomy vs Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy (REVATE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: The REVATE study provides an opportunity to explore whether RE could facilitate LND along the left RLN—a complex surgical procedure that, as of now and with the use of VATE, remains difficult to perform and associated with a significant burden of morbidity.

Recommendations for neoadjuvant pathologic staging (ypTNM) of cancer of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction for the 8th edition AJCC/UICC staging manuals.

TL;DR: Analytical and consensus processes that produced recommendations for pathologic stage groups (pTNM) of esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer for the AJCC/UICC cancer staging manuals, 8th edition are reported.

Esophagus and Esophagogastric Junction

TL;DR: Tumor location is simplified, and esophagogastric junction and proximal 5 cm of stomach are included, and Tis is redefined and T4 is subclassified Regional lymph nodes are redefined.

Worldwide esophageal cancer collaboration: clinical staging data

Thomas W. Rice, +37 more
TL;DR: Patients with early cancers had worse survival and those with advanced cancers better survival than expected from equivalent pathologic categories based on prior WECC pathologic data, making clinically based treatment decisions difficult and pre-treatment prognostication inaccurate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oesophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cancer: should we mind the gap?

TL;DR: It is timely to review the current understanding of OAC and intestinal-type GC, integrating advances from cell-of-origin studies and comprehensive genomic alteration analyses, ultimately enabling better insight into the relationship between these two cancers.
