Excerpt

Esophageal cancer remains a devastating disease, of which the incidence is increasing.1 The cornerstone of treatment with curative intent is surgical resection. However, in case of preoperatively confirmed lymph node metastasis to the neck, patients are generally precluded surgery. The concurrent palliative treatment approach is associated with a limited 1 year survival of 32–39%. An alternative treatment approach would be neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) with three-field lymphadenectomy, including the cervical lymph nodes. Whether this would be feasible and safe for the Western population was unclear up to now. …
