Diseases of the esophagus · Jul 2026 · Q2 in General Medicine

Background

Esophagectomy remains the standard of care for T1b esophageal cancer.

Methods

Ten retrospective studies were identified comprising 2491 patients who underwent endoscopic resection (n = 890) or esophagectomy (n = 1601).

n = 2491 patients

Results

esophagectomy trended toward better survival, but not significantly

HR by subgroup · 95% CI

More results

We compared patients with T1b esophageal cancer who underwent endoscopic resection or esophagectomy.

Outcomes were 5-year overall survival (OS) and cancer specific survival (cancer specific survival), recurrence, and mortality.

Mean age was 65.7 years with 16.1% female.

More results

Recurrence was 18.1% after esophagectomy and 17.7% after endoscopic resection.

“

Conclusion

Randomized controlled trials are needed to reduce patient heterogeneity.
