Conclusion: The improvement in short-term surgical outcomes in MIE is well established. This study demonstrates that MIE can have superior surgical oncologic outcomes compared to OE, this was specifically an improved R0 margin rate with MIE compared to OE. These results further support the use of MIE in the treatment of esophageal cancer. PMID: 33414613 [PubMed - in process]
