Long-term results of definitive chemoradiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Masanori Ochi et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the long-term results of chemoradiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC). The 5-year survival rates were low, with only performance status score significantly associated with overall survival. Most patients had T4 disease and lymph node metastases, with low rates of severe adverse events but treatment-related deaths occurred. New treatment strategies are needed due to poor survivals.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Integrating Clinical Data and Attentional CT Imaging Features for Esophageal Fistula Prediction in Esophageal Cancer

Yiyue Xu et al.

Summary: This study developed a risk model to predict esophageal fistula in esophageal cancer patients by integrating CT radiomic features and clinical data. The integrative deep learning model showed superior performance in risk prediction compared to non-integrative models based on CT imaging or clinical data alone, suggesting its potential for individualized stratification and treatment planning for EC patients.

Esophageal Cancer in Elderly Patients, Current Treatment Options and Outcomes; A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis

Styliani Mantziari et al.

Summary: For elderly patients with esophageal cancer, surgery combined with perioperative chemo- or chemoradiation offers the best chance for survival, despite the risk of higher complications. The quality of life after treatment is usually not compromised in elderly patients, but they face a higher risk of loss of autonomy. Based on the available data, excluding elderly patients from curative treatment solely based on age is not supported.

Metastasis Patterns and Prognosis of Elderly Patients With Esophageal Adenocarcinoma in Stage IVB: A Population-Based Study

Guanghao Qiu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the metastasis patterns and survival outcomes of elderly EAC patients with distant metastasis in stage IVB, finding that patients with multiple-site metastasis had the lowest survival rates, and active treatment, especially chemotherapy, was beneficial for prognosis. More than one third of the patients had not received any therapy.
