Abstract:Radical esophagectomy is the cornerstone in the treatment of esophageal cancer combined with perioperative therapies, whereas patients diagnosed at an early stage may be candidates for endoscopic resection. Minimally invasive procedures aim to improve the postoperative complications and reduce overall morbidity.

The Ivor Lewis technique has become the preferable approach,… Show more
