INTRODUCTION: Screening is the pivotal strategy to relieve the burden of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in high-risk areas. The cost, invasiveness, and accessibility of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) necessitate the development of prelim...

BACKGROUND: Deep learning is promising to predict treatment response. We aimed to evaluate and validate the predictive performance of the CT-based model using deep learning features for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradi...
BACKGROUND: Although optimal treatment of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) requires accurate evaluation of cancer invasion depth, the current process is rather subjective and may vary by observer. We, therefore, aimed to develop a...

OBJECTIVES: In Japan, endoscopic resection (ER) is often used to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) when invasion depths are diagnosed as EP-SM1, whereas ESCC cases deeper than SM2 are treated by surgical operation or chemoradiotherapy. ...

Robots are increasingly used in minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the clinical benefits of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in comparison with the conventional open esophageal surgery. From 2012 to 2016, 371 patients wit...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diagnosing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) depends on individual physician expertise and may be subject to interobserver variability. Therefore, we developed a computerized image-analysis system to detect and differentia...

Oesophageal cancer (ESCA) is a clinically challenging disease with poor prognosis and health-related quality of life. Here, we investigated the transcriptome of ESCA to identify high risk-related signatures. A total of 159 ESCA patients of The Cancer...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We developed a system for computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) for real-time automated diagnosis of precancerous lesions and early esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) to assist the diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Few artificial intelligence-based technologies have been developed to improve the efficiency of screening for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Here, we developed and validated a novel system of computer-aided detection ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cancer invasion depth is a critical factor affecting the choice of treatment in patients with superficial squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, the diagnosis of invasion depth is currently subjective and liable to interobserver...
