Oesophageal cancer: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up
TLDR
In the EU, the highest age-standardised incidence rates for oesophageal cancer are in the Netherlands for men and the UK for women, and variation between countries is high and may reflect different prevalence of risk factors, use of screening and diagnostic methods.About:

TL;DR: The preliminary study suggested that R-MTB was significantly associated with ypN status after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced esophageal cancer and needed to be further studied in a prospective study with a large patient cohort.

Benefits of positron emission tomography scans for the evaluation of radiotherapy.
Pierre Decazes,Sébastien Thureau,Romain Modzelewski,M. Damilleville-Martin,Pierre Bohn,Pierre Vera +5 more
TL;DR: Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography with (18F)-labelled fluorodeoxyglucose has a well-established role in clinical routine after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancers, particularly to limit the number of neck lymph node dissection.

Factors affecting the completion of concurrent chemotherapy and impact of non-completion on survival in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Shixu Wang,Bao yan Ji,Chen Li,Weiming Han,Xin Wang,Zongmei Zhou,Dongfu Chen,Qinfu Feng,Jun Liang,Jima Lv,Nan Bi,Lei Deng,Wenqing Wang,Tao Zhang,Zefen Xiao +14 more
TL;DR: CCT completion can provide superior OS for ESCC patients treated with definitive CCRT, and weekly CCT regimen, CTV-ENI, PTV, older age, and tumor location are independent predictors of non-completion of CCT.
