Deep learning systems detect dysplasia with human-like accuracy using histopathology and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy.

Scientific reports
Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows for real-time diagnosis of dysplasia and cancer in Barrett's esophagus (BE) but is limited by low sensitivity. Even the gold standard of histopathology is hindered by poor agreement between path...

Performance of a deep learning-based identification system for esophageal cancer from CT images.

Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society
BACKGROUND: Because cancers of hollow organs such as the esophagus are hard to detect even by the expert physician, it is important to establish diagnostic systems to support physicians and increase the accuracy of diagnosis. In recent years, deep le...

Optimization of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the lateral decubitus position.

Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society
BACKGROUND: On the introduction of robot-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy (RATE), we refined the robotic system application to enhance our surgical experience obtained through thoracoscopic esophagectomy (TE) in the lateral decubitus position (LD...

State of the art in esophagectomy: robotic assistance in the abdominal phase.

Updates in surgery
Over the years, robot-assisted esophagectomy gained popularity. The current literature focused mainly on robotic assistance in the thoracic phase, whereas the implementation of robotic assistance in the abdominal phase is lagging behind. Advantages o...

Esophageal squamous dysplasia and cancer: Is artificial intelligence our best weapon?

Best practice & research. Clinical gastroenterology
Esophageal cancer is the eight most common cancer in the world and is associated with a poor prognosis. Significant efforts are necessary to improve the detection of early squamous cell cancer such that curative endoscopic therapy can be offered. Stu...

Salvage Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE) for T4b Esophageal Cancer After Definitive Chemoradiotherapy.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Patients  with esophageal cancer  that invades adjacent structures (cT4b) are precluded from surgery and usually treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT). dCRT might result in sufficient downstaging to enable a radical resection, ...

Initial introduction of robot-assisted, minimally invasive esophagectomy using the microanatomy-based concept in the upper mediastinum.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: We have recently standardized upper mediastinal lymph node dissection (UMLND) using a microanatomy-based concept in thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position (TEPP), and introduced robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (...
