On December 10, 2025, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN) released the Esophageal and Esophagogastric Junction Cancers Clinical Practice Guidelines (Version 1.2026). This article provides an in-depth interpretation of the key updates in the guidelines, with a focus on the following critical areas: the inclusion of distress assessment as an integral component of the diagnostic and treatment workflow, the quantification of tumor infiltration depth for T1b stage disease, the elevation of the FLOT regimen to a Category 1 preferred recommendation for perioperative systemic therapy for esophageal adenocarcinoma, the strengthening of the recommendation for minimally invasive esophagectomy, and the standardization of the nomenclature and testing methodologies for biomarkers including human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. By systematically analyzing these key updates, this review aims to provide a practical reference for standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer in China.

Invasive angiomyxoma（AAM） is characterized by unclear boundaries, non enveloped glial growth, high recurrence rate, and belongs to a benign tumor, but it is invasive and grows slowly. A patient with recurrent left vestibular invasive angiomyxoma was admitted to the Otorhinolaryngology ward of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated with Capital Medical University. The patient underwent two repeated surgeries and underwent a combined internal and external nasal approach for the removal of the nasal vestibular angiomyxoma. The patient recovered well after the surgery and has not recurred since follow-up.

Ojective To explore the effect of the hydroxyapatite(HAp)and gelatin(Gel)coating on the healing of the polyethylene terephthalate(PET)artificial ligament.Methods The artificial ligaments were divided into a PET group with a pure PET surface and a PET/HAp/Gel group coated with HAp and Gel.Both coatings were observed using the scanning electron microscope(SEM).Forty-eight male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups and underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,before two kinds of artificial ligaments were implanted respectively.Four weeks and 8 weeks after the operation,the rabbits were sacrificed,and histological hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining as well as the biomechanical examination were performed.Results HAp/Gel coating was found depositing on the surface of PET artificial ligaments.Histological HE staining showed a thick fibrous connective tissue forming at the graft-host bone interface 4 weeks postoperatively,and the interface width of both groups were narrowed,with significantly more shrinking in the PET/HAp/Gel coating group.And new bone tissues were found in the interface of PET/HAp/Gel group 8 weeks after the operation.The biomechanical examination found significant differences in the failure load between the PET(46.16 ± 2.88 N) and PET/HAp/Gel group(71.32 ± 3.92 N)8 weeks after the surgery(P=0.0021).And 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the surgery,significant differences were found in the stiffness between the PET group and the PET/HAp/Gel group(11.06 ± 1.14 N/mm vs 16.20 ± 1.17 N/mm,P=0.0199;14.37 ± 0.88 N/mm vs 24.35 ± 1.35 N/mm,P=0.0008).Conclusion HAp/Gel coating can enhance the osteogenesis of PET artificial ligaments,promoting the new bone formation at the graft-host bone interface and herein strengthening the graft-host bone healing.
