Complications and survival after hybrid and fully minimally invasive oesophagectomy Open
Background Minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIO) is reported to produce fewer respiratory complications than open oesophagectomy. This study assessed differences in postoperative complications between MIO and hybrid MIO (HMIO) employing …

Esophageal Cancer : Prognostication and Individualized Treatment Open
Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive disease with a rising incidence, especially in the Western World. Survival has improved over the last decades in which multimodality treatment played an important role. Despite these improvements, e…

A structured training program for minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer— a Delphi consensus study in Europe Open
SUMMARY Evidence suggests that structured training programs for laparoscopic procedures can ensure a safe standard of skill acquisition prior to independent practice. Although minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIO) is technically demanding…

Prognostic gene expression profiling in esophageal cancer: a systematic review Open
This systematic review shows heterogeneous findings in associating gene expression with clinical outcome in esophageal cancer. Larger validated studies employing RNA next-generation sequencing are required to establish gene expression prof…

Waiting Time from Diagnosis to Treatment has no Impact on Survival in Patients with Esophageal Cancer Open
In esophageal cancer patients treated with curative intent by either neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery or primary surgery, waiting time from diagnosis to treatment has no impact on long-term outcome.

Prognosis and Treatment After Diagnosis of Recurrent Esophageal Carcinoma Following Esophagectomy with Curative Intent Open
In patients treated for esophageal cancer at curative intent, distant recurrence and more than three recurrent locations were independent prognostic factors associated with worse post-recurrence survival, irrespective of primary tumor char…

Missed low-grade infection in suspected aseptic loosening has no consequences for the survival of total hip arthroplasty. Open
Under-diagnosis of low-grade infection in conjunction with presumed aseptic revision of total hip arthroplasty may not affect implant survival.
