BACKGROUND: Open transthoracic esophagectomy is the worldwide gold standard in the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer. Robot-assisted minimally invasive thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy (RAMIE) for esophageal cancer may be associated with re...
BACKGROUND: As a first step to prevent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy, we have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based anatomical recognition system for critical anatomical structures in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy ...
PURPOSE: Recent advancements in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics algorithms have facilitated significant breakthroughs in both fundamental and clinical tumor research. Nevertheless, the processing and utilization of large-scale data continu...
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is one of the most accurate methods for determining the originating layer of subepithelial lesions (SELs). However, the accuracy is greatly influenced by the expertise and proficiency of the endoscopist. In thi...
BACKGROUND: Anastomotic strictures (AS) frequently occurs in patients following esophageal cancer surgery, significantly affecting their long-term quality of life. This study aims to develop a machine learning model to predict high-risk AS, enabling ...
In this article we comment on the paper by Xu describing retrospective data on endoscopic treatment outcome of esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Esophageal GIST is a rare type of mesenchymal tumor. GISTs originate from the intersti...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with a high mortality rate. Early prognosis of esophageal abnormalities can improve patient survival rates. The progression of esophageal cancer follows a sequence from esophagi...
