Esophageal Dysphagia in Adults
This article underscores the role of detailed patient history and physical examinations, including prompt endoscopic evaluation, for accurate differentiation between esophageal and oropharyngeal dysphagia. The authors discuss the heightened importance of early intervention in certain patient groups, such as elderly individuals and patients with head and neck cancer, to mitigate the risk of malnutrition and infection. The authors delve into etiologic factors highlighting the complexity of clinical presentations and the significance of tailored management strategies.

Neoadjuvant therapy for non-small cell lung cancer and esophageal cancer
Am J Cancer Res. 2024 Mar 15;14(3):1258-1277. doi: 10.62347/TCEC1867. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTAs the major malignant tumors in the chest, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and esophageal cancer (EC) bring huge health burden to human beings worldwide. Currently, surgery is still the mainstay for comprehensive treatment for NSCLC and EC, but the prognosis is still poor as the results of cancer recurrence and distant metastasis. Neoadjuvant therapy refers to a single or combined treatment before surgery, aiming to improve the therapeutic effects of the traditional therapies. Unfortunately, the clinical outcomes and effects ...

Identification of subgroups of patients with oesophageal cancer based on exercise intensity during prehabilitation
CONCLUSIONS: This cluster analysis identified three subgroups with distinct patterns in exercise intensity during prehabilitation. Participants who were physically fit were able to train at high intensity. Fatigued participants trained at lower intensity but showed the greatest improvement. A small group of participants, despite being physically active, had a low training capacity and could be considered frail.PMID:38591988 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2337106 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) outcomes in T1B esophageal cancer: a retrospective study
ConclusionESD is safe with high en-bloc and R0 resection rates in T1b EC. Recurrence rates are low but patients need close monitoring. Larger-scale studies are needed to determine the long-term clinical efficacy of ESD in T1b EC.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)
