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.

Deep‐learning‐based classification of desmoplastic reaction on H&E predicts poor prognosis in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: The prognostic significance of the deep‐learning classifier was assessed and it was compared to that of manual DR reporting and other pathological factors currently used in the clinic.

External Validation of the Dutch SOURCE Survival Prediction Model in Belgian Metastatic Oesophageal and Gastric Cancer Patients

TL;DR: The SOURCE gastric cancer model was well calibrated and had a similar performance in the Belgian cohort compared with the Dutch internal validation, however, the oesophageal cancer model had not.

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma: a rare tumor at the esophagogastric junction and an unexpected durable complete response to FOLFOX-4.

TL;DR: The presented case illustrates the diagnostic challenges associated with BSCC of the esophagus and reports an unexpected chemosensitivity of this histotype to the combination of a platinum salt plus 5-fluorouracil which could represent an optimal treatment strategy in unfit patients.

Long-Term Outcome After Histopathological Complete Response with and Without Nodal Metastases Following Multimodal Treatment of Esophageal Cancer

TL;DR: Follow-up recommendations may be adopted in patients with pCR but outcome significantly deteriorates with the presence of nodal metastases, and “watch-and-wait” surveillance strategies with suspected clinical complete response have to be considered with caution.

Automated clinical decision support system with deep learning dose prediction and NTCP models to evaluate treatment complications in patients with esophageal cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper , two U-Net models for photon (XT) and proton (PT) plans, respectively, were created, for estimating the dose distribution for each patient, they were trained on a database of 40 uniformly planned patients using cross validation and a circulating test set.

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.
