Risk stratification for synchronous/metachronous recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection for Barrett ’s esophageal adenocarcinoma using the length of Barrett’s esophagus
ConclusionsRisk stratification of multifocal cancer using length of Barrett ’s esophagus was effective. Further multicenter prospective studies are needed to substantiate our findings. (Source: Esophagus)

First-line pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic esophageal cancer: 1-year extended follow-up in the Japanese subgroup of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-590 study
ConclusionsWith longer-term follow-up of Japanese patients with advanced/metastatic esophageal cancer, efficacy continued to favor pembrolizumab –chemotherapy compared with placebo–chemotherapy, with no new safety signals observed.Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03189719.

A combined nomogram based on radiomics and hematology to predict the pathological complete response of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
To predict pathological complete response (pCR) in patients receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (nICT) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), we explored the factors that influence pCR after nICT ... (Source: BMC Cancer)

Clinical features and treatment outcomes of PD-1 inhibitor therapy in elderly patients ( ≥ 65 years) with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a real-world study
CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated that individuals older than 65 years with locally advanced or metastatic ESCC have a survival benefit from the first-line treatment of PD-1 inhibitors combined therapy, with a manageable safety profile.PMID:38602642 | DOI:10.1007/s12094-024-03453-0 (Source: Cancer Control)

Analysis of Molecular Genetic Variants of Lgals4 in Esophageal Cancer: A Preliminary Report
Biochem Genet. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s10528-024-10780-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEsophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer worldwide and fourth most common in developing countries. Altered glycosylation pattern of cell membrane molecules along with inflammation is a characteristic attribute of oncogenesis. Galectin-4, a tandem repeat galectin, has shown effect on cancer progression/metastasis in digestive system cancers. This role of galectin-4 can be attributed to variations in LGALS4, gene encoding galectin-4. The present case-control study was designed to analyze four intronic SNPs in LGALS4 with susc...

Oblique conformal anastomosis decreased the risks of cervical anastomotic leakage after totally minimally invasive esophagectomy
CONCLUSION: Oblique conformation anastomosis was stronger and involved a more prominent reduced risk of cervical anastomotic leakage than conventional anastomosis after TMIE.PMID:38604851 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2024.03.141 (Source: Asian Journal of Surgery)

Multi-omic analysis of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma uncovers candidate therapeutic targets and cancer-selective post-transcriptional regulation
CONCLUSIONS: By quantitative proteomic analysis we have identified GPA33 as an EAC-selective biomarker. Integrated analysis of proteome, transcriptome, and genome in EAC has revealed several genes with tumor-selective, post-transcriptional regulation of protein expression which may be an exploitable vulnerability.PMID:38604503 | DOI:10.1016/j.mcpro.2024.100764 (Source: Molecular and Cellular Proteomics : MCP)
