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: It is found that surgery to the primary tumor, when combined with chemotherapy, was associated with improved survival for patients with M1b disease, both EAC and ESCC, with a greater benefit observed in younger patients, and those with EAC.

Cost‐effectiveness of chemoradiation followed by esophagectomy versus chemoradiation alone in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus
TL;DR: Evaluating the cost‐effectiveness of chemoradiation with and without esophagectomy in squamous cell carcinoma finds that it may reduce recurrence at the cost of treatment‐related mortality.

TL;DR: NAC or NACRT yield the same survival outcome for patients with resectable gastric cardia cancer, and the need for randomized controlled trials comparing the 2 regimens head-to-head is supported.
