Article Abstract

This letter comments on Wei 's study applying the Wave-Vision Transformer for oesophageal cancer classification. Highlighting its superior accuracy and efficiency, we discuss its potential clinical impact, limitations in dataset diversity, and the need for explainable artificial intelligence to enhance adoption in pathology and personalized treatment.

Microbiome dysbiosis in reflux esophagitis has been extensively studied. However, limited research has examined microbiota across different segments of the upper gastrointestinal tract in reflux esophagitis. In this study, we investigated microbial alterations in three esophageal segments (upper, middle, and lower) and the gastric fundus of reflux esophagitis patients and healthy controls.

Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, Guangdong Esophageal Cancer Institute, Guangzhou, 510060, China.

Background: Previous studies indicated that over-dissection of lymph nodes might impair the efficacy of immunotherapy. This study aims to explore the prognostic value of ypN + status and the impact of lymph node dissection (LND) on survival after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) for esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).

Methods: This double-center retrospective study enrolled 206 consecutive ESCC patients who underwent NICT followed by esophagectomy between 2018 and 2024.

Background: Barrett's mucosa in the remnant esophagus (BMRE) is often identified after gastric pull-up reconstruction after esophagectomy. This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of BMRE and the factors that affect the development of BMRE.

Methods: The characteristics of BMRE and factors affecting its occurrence were studied in patients with subtotal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction who survived at least 3 years after esophageal cancer surgery and who were evaluated by endoscopy.

Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (nICT) has demonstrated significant potential in improving pathological response rates and survival outcomes for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, substantial interindividual variability in therapeutic outcomes highlights the urgent need for more precise predictive tools to guide clinical decision-making. Traditional biomarkers remain limited in both predictive performance and clinical feasibility.
