Abstract:
The esophagus plays an extremely important physiological function in human body, and esophageal cancer is a highly lethal disease among all the malignancies. Esophagectomy is still the main treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer. Ensuring the efficacy of oncology plays a crucial role in exploring organ preservation in the treatment of esophageal cancer. We should always be aware of the inherent difficulties and potential harms of organ preservation for esophageal cancer treatment and seek a personalized and reasonable balance between ensuring cure and preserving organs, provide the best treatment design for esophageal cancer patients, to achieve maximum therapeutic effect without sacrificing the life quality of patients.
