BackgroundNeutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a diagnostic marker for acute kidney injury (AKI). NGAL expression is highly induced not only in kidney injury but also in bacterial infection, inflammation, and cancer. The factors regulating NGAL expression are proinflammatory cytokines, and plasma NGAL levels have been increased in s...

BackgroundNeoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (nCCRT) is one of the standard-of-care options for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESqCC). The optimal interval between nCCRT and esophagectomy is unknown.MethodsWe constructed a propensity-score-matched [1:1 for long (8–12 weeks) vs short (4–7 weeks) intervals] cohort of LA...

BackgroundComputed tomography (CT) is commonly used in all stages of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) management. Compared to basic CT features, CT radiomic features can objectively obtain more information about intratumour heterogeneity. Although CT radiomics has been proved useful for predicting treatment response to chemoradiotherapy in...

Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive gastrointestinal cancers. This review focuses on eight topics within the multidisciplinary approach for esophageal cancer. As esophagectomy is highly invasive and likely to impair quality of life, the development of less invasive strategies is expected. Endoscopic resection (ER) of early esophageal ca...

Esophagotracheal and esophagobronchial fistulas are pathological communications between the airway system and the digestive tract, which often lead to major pulmonary complications with a high mortality. Endoscopic treatment is the primary therapeutic approach; however, in cases of failure early surgical treatment is obligatory. This article descri...
