Excerpt

Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive cancer and the surgical treatment is extremely invasive. In Japan, the patient prognosis has improved remarkably due to advances in tumor diagnosis, operative techniques, perioperative management, and chemoradiotherapy; however, approximately half of the patients cannot be cured even after an esophagectomy [1, 2]. Early detection, as well as prevention, is therefore important to avoid esophageal cancer deaths. …
