Abstract:Background
Malignant esophageal fistula (MEF), which occurs in 5% to 15% of esophageal cancer (EC) patients, has a poor prognosis. Accurate identification of esophageal cancer patients at high risk of MEF is challenging. The goal of this study was to build and validate a model to predict the occurrence of esophageal fistula in EC patients.
Methods
This study retrospectively enrolled 122 esophageal cancer patients treated by chemotherapy or chemorad… Show more
