Background: Anastomotic leakage is one of the most severe complications after esophageal cancer surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative inflammatory status on anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery and to construct a model for predicting anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1106 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgical treatment between September 2018 and December 2022. Patients were randomly divided into training and testing sets at a ratio of 7:3. Logistic regression analysis and LASSO regression analysis were performed on the training set. Independent influencing factors selected from the analysis were used for model construction. Internal validation was then performed.
Results: A total of 1106 patients with esophageal cancer, with a mean age of 64.05 years, were included in our study. Among them, there were 785 male patients (71.0%) and 321 female patients (29.0%). Multivariate analysis revealed that a history of smoking (OR = 2.121, P = 0.016; 95% CI, 1.151-3.938), history of diabetes mellitus (OR = 5.473, P < 0.001; 95% CI, 2.587-11.382), high NMR (OR = 3.423, P = 0.002; 95% CI, 1.628-7.489), high PLR (OR = 3.675, P < 0.002; 95% CI, 1.642-8.406), and low PLT (OR = 0.986, P = < 0.001; 95% CI, 0.980-0.993) were independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery. A forest plot was constructed for the independent risk factors, and the ROC curve analysis results showed that the model had good predictive ability in both the training and testing sets. Additionally, calibration curve and DCA curve analyses showed that the model had good predictive ability and net benefit.
Conclusion: This study found that smoking history, diabetes history and preoperative inflammatory status (preoperative high NMR, high PLR, and low PLT) were risk factors for postoperative anastomotic leakage in patients with esophageal cancer. Based on these findings, we constructed a model for predicting anastomotic leakage after esophageal cancer surgery that demonstrated good predictive ability.

Background: Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) represents a rare and unique type of lung tumor with an unfavorable prognosis. It is essential to summarize the treatment modalities and prognosis for inoperable stage III and IV LCNEC, explore the role of frontline immunotherapy, and examine the stratification role of the Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) and its relationship with the tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 160 patients with inoperable lung LCNEC (L-LCNEC) admitted to three hospitals from December 2012 to November 2023.

Introduction: Psychiatric comorbidities are increasingly recognized in patients with thoracic malignancies. We undertook this scoping review to characterize the management of thoracic malignancies in patients with psychiatric illness and uncover any disparities in operative treatment or perioperative outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most serious health issues around the world, ranking seventh among the most lethal types of cancer and eleventh among the most common types of cancer worldwide. Traditional therapies-such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy-often yield limited success, especially in the advanced stages of EC, prompting the pursuit of novel and more effective treatment strategies. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising option; nonetheless, its clinical success is hindered by variable patient responses.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, as well as the 3-year survival outcomes of neoadjuvant immunotherapy with chemotherapy (NICT) plus surgery in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in real-world settings.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with locally advanced ESCC who underwent surgery after NICT in our hospital between May 2019 and Mar 2022, with a median follow-up of 37.6 months.

Background: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is currently widely used in staging and re-staging oesophageal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is a reproducible parameter that may predict survival. This study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of SUVmax and the change in SUVmax after neoadjuvant treatment (ΔSUVmax) on overall and disease-free survival.
