Summary: Endoscopic resection is the main treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma due to its minimal invasiveness and favorable outcomes. Accurate assessment of tumor depth and extent is crucial in determining the suitability for endoscopic resection, with different types of esophageal cancers requiring specific treatment approaches.

Summary: This study reported the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection (ER) for residual/recurrent superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasias (SESCNs) after circumferential radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The study group had similar outcomes to the control group, suggesting that post-RFA ER is a suitable treatment option for residual/recurrent SESCNs.

Summary: This review discusses the additional treatment and recent advances in the field of non-curative endoscopic resection for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and early gastric cancer. The development of risk stratification for metastatic recurrence, identification of different recurrence patterns, and the establishment of a novel treatment strategy are discussed. Predicting prognosis and quality of life is crucial for optimal therapeutic decision-making in such patients.

Summary: The simplified magnifying endoscopic classification developed by the Japan Esophageal Society is useful for estimating the invasion depth of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC). The diagnostic accuracy for type B2 vessels was low, but may be improved by using B2 >= 7 mm and B2i.

Summary: There is no research on treating synchronous head and neck cancer (HNC) and superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasm (SESCN). This study aimed to report the outcomes of treating SESCN with endoscopic resection (ER) or no treatment (NT) in patients with synchronous HNC and SESCN (SHNSESCN). The results showed that ER significantly improved overall survival in patients with SHNSESCN compared to NT, and treatment-related mortality and morbidity did not differ significantly between the two groups. The study concluded that ER is the recommended treatment for patients with SHNSESCN, but further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm this.

Summary: Endoscopic treatment combined with esophagectomy or CRT can be a curative treatment option for patients with superficial esophageal cancer. Esophagectomy is recommended over CRT for patients with massive submucosal tumor invasion due to the risk of recurrence after CRT.

Summary: The size of the lesion was found to be the only risk factor associated with adverse events after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for non-ampullary duodenal adenomatous lesions. None of the recommended preventive methods had any effect on the adverse event rate.

Summary: ESD is the standard treatment for SESCN, but DI in the esophageal ducts of submucosal glands has been associated with worse prognosis. Precise histological assessment of DI is crucial for patients undergoing ESD to prevent misdiagnosis and potential local recurrence/metastasis.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial circumferential esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cESCC). The results demonstrate that ESD is a highly curative treatment for cESCC with favorable long-term outcomes, especially in low-risk patients.

Summary: This study investigated the utility and short-term outcomes of different endoscopic resection techniques for relatively small superficial non-ampullary duodenal adenomas (SNADAs). The results showed that there was no significant difference in recurrence risk among the different techniques, and underwater endoscopic resection appeared to be a simple and safe option for these lesions.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of patients with endoscopically resected superficial esophageal cancer treated with surgical resection and CRT. The results showed that the 5-year survival rate was significantly better in the surgery group than in the CRT group. The higher number of elderly patients in the CRT group was considered to be the reason for the worse prognosis.

Summary: Flexible endoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative complications after esophageal cancer surgery, offering effective therapy with minimal invasiveness. During the past 20 years, significant advancements have been made in endoscopic treatment techniques for anastomotic bleeding, anastomotic insufficiency, anastomotic stenosis, and delayed gastric emptying.

Summary: In a Western setting, salvage endoscopic resection (ER) performed by gastroenterologists on 25 esophageal cancer patients showed technical feasibility. The median follow-up period was 24 months, with 52% of patients experiencing recurrence and en-bloc resection rate of 92%. The 5-year recurrence-free survival, overall survival, and disease-specific survival were 36%, 52%, and 79%, respectively.

Summary: This study investigated esophageal stenosis related to salvage radiotherapy (RT) in superficial esophageal cancer patients after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The study found that esophageal stenosis improved naturally or after endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) in patients who underwent salvage RT after non-curative ESD. Only a few cases required long-term EBD. Tumor location was identified as the only significant risk factor for grade 3 esophageal stenosis.

Summary: The study reviewed the experience of endoscopic mucosal resections in 80 patients with early-stage esophageal cancer, finding that endoscopic resections are a safe and effective treatment. Patients who require repeat resection or surgery should undergo esophagectomy.
