Blocking FGFR4 exerts distinct anti-tumorigenic effects in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: The FGFR family can be activated by FGFs and plays important roles in regulating cell growth, differentiation, migration, and angiogenesis, and the potential roles of FGFR4 in ESCC remain unknown.

Benchmark values for transthoracic esophagectomy are not set as the defined "best possible"-a validation study.

TL;DR: Benchmark values assessing postoperative morbidity after MIE do not represent the defined "best achievable" results after completed learning curves, and all parameters measuring complications showed better results in this study.

Neoadjuvant therapy for advanced esophageal cancer: the impact on surgical management

TL;DR: As neoadjuvant therapy is administered with the assumption that surgery will be performed, it is important for surgeons to be familiar with its impact on surgical management, and changes in treatment, according to the period and the results of up-to-date studies are discussed.

Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal or Junctional Cancer

TL;DR: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy improved survival among patients with potentially curable esophageal or esophagogastric-junction cancer and the regimen was associated with acceptable adverse-event rates.
