Background The incidence of anastomotic stenosis ranges from 26 to 42 % in patients who have undergone esophagectomy. Stenosis reduces patient quality of life and requires multiple endoscopic balloon dilations (EBDs). We investigated the effects of EBD with intralesional steroid injection on anastomotic re-stenosis after EBD. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 30 esophageal cancer patients who...
Background Although lymph node metastasis is a significant prognostic factor in patients with esophageal cancer, the sensitivity and specificity of conventional imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging is limited in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis. This retrospective study examined the usefulness of the combination of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron...

We designed this multicenter study to determine the clinical significance of IHC-detected LN micrometastasis in esophageal carcinoma. Methods The subjects were 164 patients with histopathologically confirmed LN-negative esophageal carcinoma...
