Article Abstract

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract with strong migratory and invasive abilities. Gas6 is closely associated with the progression of many malignant tumors; however, the role of Gas6 in the progression of esophageal cancer is unclear. Here, we report that the knockdown of Gas6 inhibited esophageal cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In addition, Gas6 knockdown downregulated the levels of P-PI3K and P-AKT. Taken together, the findings confirm that Gas6 knockdown can inhibit esophageal cancer progression and can exert anti-tumor effects on esophageal cancer through the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Background: Accurate evaluation of the invasion depth of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) is crucial for optimal treatment. While magnifying endoscopy (ME) using the Japanese Esophageal Society (JES) classification is reported as the most accurate method to predict invasion depth, its efficacy has not been tested in the Western world. This study aims to evaluate the interobserver agreement of the JES classification for SESCC and its accuracy in estimating invasion depth in a Brazilian tertiary hospital.

Objective: To evaluate the burden and trends of digestive system cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) globally between 1990 and 2021.

Methods: Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (1990-2021). We analyzed global, regional, and national disease burdens by calculating the age-standardized incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for AYAs.

Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.

Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.

Introduction: There are no reports of patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. We report the case of a patient who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and colon reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy using the mesenteric approach.

Case Presentation: A 71-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer.
