“…It is expected that the incidence of esophageal cancer will continue to rise [3] with the continuous development of industrialization and urbanization in China [4], becoming a major threat to human health. Because esophageal cancer is usually diagnosed in advanced stages [5], it has ranked sixth among cancer deaths worldwide (400,000 deaths in 2012) [6]. In the past decade, the patient quality of life (QoL) has been an important focus for evaluating the outcomes of therapy for esophageal cancer, particularly due to its low cure rate despite aggressive treatment [7].…”

Objective The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) of patients with esophageal cancer, and to explore the main socioeconomic factors that affect the QoL. Method A multicenter cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected using scales including the interviewer-administered general situation questionnaire designed by the authors, the Quality of Life Questionnaire-core 30 Version 3 in Chinese (QLQ-C30), and the Patientgenerated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) from a nationwide survey conducted previously in China. The role of each covariate in the full model was assessed using the QoL as the primary outcome in a multilevel ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results In total, 1223 patients were included, among whom 1009 (82.5%) were males, and 504 (41.2%) were older than 65 years old. The findings indicate that patients with esophageal cancer in China face a poor quality of life with a mean global quality of life scored of 58.33 (66.67). The most significant factors influencing quality of life were the nutritional support, PG-SGA scores and level of education. Compared with patients who had a PG-SGA score ≥ 9, patients with scores between 0-1 had significantly better scores in five scales: the PF (physical functioning), RF (role functioning), CF (cognitive functioning), EF (emotional functioning) and SF (social functioning) (OR: 4.75, 4.84, 2.12, 2.81, and 3.00). Conclusion Nutritional support and PG-SGA scores significantly influenced the quality of life of patients with esophageal cancer. It appears that most patients with esophageal cancer are in urgent need of symptom alleviation and/or concurrent intervention.

“…These EGJ tumors can also be divided into three groups according to Siewert's modified classification (for adenocarcinoma only): type 1 if the tumor's epicenter is between 1 and 5 cm above the EGJ, type 2 with the epicenter 1 cm above to 2 cm below the EGJ, and type 3 with the epicenter between 2 and 5 cm below the EGJ [1].…”

“…Esophageal cancer is the eighth most frequent cancer worldwide, and adenocarcinoma is currently the most common in Western countries, with a significant increase in its incidence in recent years in relation to gastroesophageal reflux disease and obesity. Other tumor types, such as lymphoma, spindle cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), are very uncommon [1].…”

We present the initial results of a novel hybrid scanning-based technique that combines pneumo-computed tomography (PNCT) with positron emission tomography (PET) using 2-(fluorine-18) fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG). We denominate it pneumo-PET-CT. The focus of our discussion will be on the description of the pneumo-PET-CT technique and the interpretation criteria with emphasis on its benefits and applications in the presurgical and postneoadjuvant therapy evaluation of esophageal, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), and gastric tumors.
