BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the effect of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support system on the performance and diagnostic confidence of endoscopists in their assessment of Barrett's esophagus (BE).
BACKGROUND: Recently, robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) has gained popularity worldwide. Some studies have compared the long-term results of RAMIE and minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). However, there are no reports on the ...
Timely detection of Barrett's esophagus, the pre-malignant condition of esophageal adenocarcinoma, can improve patient survival rates. The Cytosponge-TFF3 test, a non-endoscopic minimally invasive procedure, has been used for diagnosing intestinal me...

PURPOSE: To develop and externally validate an automatic artificial intelligence (AI) tool for delineating gross tumor volume (GTV) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which can assist in neo-adjuvant or radical radiation ther...
BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy has significantly improved survival of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) patients, however the clinical benefit was limited to only a small portion of patients. This study aimed to perform a deep learning signature base...
BACKGROUND: Thoracic esophageal cancer resection through the neck approach has recently been reported as mediastinoscopic surgery. We present the first report of a new minimally invasive technique for thoracic esophageal cancer: robot-assisted transc...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial esophageal cancer is a multistep treatment involving several endoscopic processes. Although analyzing each phase separately is worthwhile, it is not realistic in practice owi...
