Abstract
BACKGROUND The therapeutic approach after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) diagnosed as pathological T1a-muscularis mucosa (pT1a-MM) without lymphovascular involvement (LVI) remains uncertain. We aimed to determine whether observation after ESD is acceptable for patients without LVI showing pT1a-MM cancer. METHODS We retrospectively registered 566 ESCC patients who were treated with ESD at ten institutions between January 2007 and December 2015. Of those, 447 cases showing pT1a-epithelium/lamina propria mucosa (EP/LPM) without LVI and vertical margin (VM) (EP/LPM group), and 41 cases showing pT1a-MM without LVI and VM (MM group) were analyzed in this investigation. The clinical outcomes were assessed between the groups. RESULTS The 5 year cumulative incidence of metastatic recurrence was 0.5% and 3.3% in the EP/LPM and MM groups, respectively (P = 0.121). Two cases showing pT1a-EP/LPM and one showing pT1a-MM experienced lymph node recurrence. The 5 year cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 1.5% and 3.8% in the EP/LPM and MM groups, respectively (P = 0.455). The 5 year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate was 99.3% and 96.6% in the EP/LPM and MM groups, respectively (P = 0.118), whereas the 5 year overall survival rate was significantly higher in the EP/LPM group than in the MM group (92.6% versus 81.1%, respectively; P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS As regards metastatic recurrence and DSS, ESCC patients with pT1a-MM without LVI showed favorable outcomes that were equivalent to those with pT1a-EP/LPM, even when they were not treated with additional therapy after ESD.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the first treatment option for superficial squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SSCE). Salvage endoscopic treatment for recurrent advanced esophageal cancer after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been reported. However, there are few reports on long-term prognosis after salvage endoscopic treatment in Japan. The present study investigated long-term treatment results after conventional ESD for SSCE and after salvage endoscopic treatment for locally recurrent lesions after CRT. Outcomes of esophageal ESD were retrospectively investigated at Nagasaki University Hospital and long-term prognosis after salvage endoscopic treatment for locally recurrence lesions after CRT was examined. The en-bloc curative resection rate was 89.5% (606/676) for conventional ESD. The 5-year cause-specific survival rate (CSS) was 98.5%. A total of 77 patients underwent salvage endoscopic treatment [ESD or photodynamic therapy (PDT)] for locally recurrent lesions after CRT. The 3-year CSS was 81.3 and 77.1% for salvage ESD and salvage PDT, respectively. SSCE management using ESD yielded high en-bloc curative resection and survival rates. Overall, establishing salvage endoscopic treatment made long-term control of the underlying disease possible, while also maintaining the quality of life for patients with recurrent advanced esophageal cancer deeper than patients with T1b who underwent CRT and patients with recurrence after additional CRT following ESD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In case of high risk of lymph node invasion after endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can be an alternative to surgery. We assessed long-term clinical outcomes of adjuvant therapy by CRT after non-curative ER for superficial SCC. METHODS We performed a retrospective multicenter study. From April 1999 to April 2018, all consecutive patients who underwent ER for SCC with tumor infiltration beyond the muscularis mucosae were included. RESULTS A total of 137 ER were analyzed. The overall nodal or metastatic recurrence-free survival rate at 5 years was 88% and specific recurrence-free survival rates at 5 years with and without adjuvant therapy were, respectively, 97.9% and 79.1% (p = 0.011). Independent factors for nodal and/or distal metastatic recurrence were age (HR = 1.075, p = 0.031), Sm infiltration depth > 200 µm (HR = 4.129, p = 0.040), and the absence of adjuvant CRT or surgery (HR = 11.322, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION In this study, adjuvant therapy is associated with a higher recurrence-free survival rate at 5 years after non-curative ER. This result suggests this approach may be considered as an alternative to surgery in selected patients.

Abstract
Background It remains controversial whether endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is still appropriate for circumferential superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (SESCN), and few studies compared the short-term and long-term outcomes of ESD with radical surgery. Methods A total of 140 patients with SESCN who underwent ESD or surgery between February 2014 and October 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The characteristics of patients, operative time, postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and quality of life (QOL) were compared between the ESD and surgery groups. The effect of different methods to prevent esophageal stenosis after ESD were analysed. Results Drinking, family history of cancer, macroscopic type, and intrapapillary capillary loop (IPCL) type were independent risk factors for deep submucosal invasion (SM ≥ 200 μm). Smoking and IPCL type were independent predictive factors for angiolymphatic invasion. The average operative time of ESD was significantly shorter than that of surgery (174.5 ± 51.16 min vs. 255.9 ± 88.18 min, p < 0.001). The incidence of perioperative complications in ESD group was significantly lower than that in surgery group (5.5% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.015). The ESD group had significantly better functional scale scores for emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and global health status, and lower rates of pain, dyspnoea, insomnia, appetite loss, diarrhoea, reflux, and trouble with taste than the surgery group. No significant difference in OS and RFS between ESD and surgery group. Conclusions ESD can significantly shorten the operative time and reduce perioperative complications. Additionally, on the premise of using appropriate measures to prevent postoperative stenosis, ESD can be the first choice for the treatment of SESCN, which could provide better QOL, and the long-term prognosis of ESD is no less than that of surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND pT1b esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated by endoscopic resection (ER) required additional treatment with surgical resection (SR) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) according to 2020 Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) guideline. Given the evidences for this recommendation were largely based on small-size studies, our study collected 166 cases of ER-treated pT1b patients in order to investigate the efficacy of additional SR as compared to ER-alone treatment. METHODS A multi-institutional retrospective study in China was conducted. The pT1b ESCC treated by ER + SR (n = 42) and ER-alone (n = 124) from 2007 to 2018 were recruited. Meanwhile, patients with positive lymphovascular invasion (LVI(+)) and/or with positive vertical margin (VM(+)) were put into high-risk group, and those with both VM(-) and LVI(-) were selected into low-risk group. The clinicopathological parameters, lymph node metastasis (LNM), and survival between ER + SR and ER-alone groups were analyzed. RESULTS In high-risk group, concurrent LNM revealed in surgically resected specimens accounted for 52.6% cases in ER + SR group. After surgical removal, the incidence of post-resection LNM dropped down to 5.6%. However, in low-risk group, patients with ER + SR treatment did not exhibit any concurrent LNM in surgically resected specimens, and the incidence of their overall LNM was similar to that in ER-alone group (0% vs. 2.8%, p = 1.000). More importantly, these cases demonstrated significantly shorter overall survival (OS) than that in ER-alone group (81.8% and 100.0%, respectively, at 3 years; log-Rank: P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS For ER-treated pT1b patients in high-risk group, additional SR is strongly recommended. However, for those in low-risk group, additional SR does not generate much benefit for clearance of LNM, but brings harm to shorten their OS. Therefore, additional SR is not recommended for ER-treated pT1b patient in low-risk group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although additional treatment is considered for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) invading into the muscularis mucosa (pT1a-MM) or submucosa (pT1b-SM) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), the actual benefits of this method remain to be elucidated. AIMS We aimed to evaluate the prognostic benefits of additional treatment in such patients. METHODS Between 2006 and 2017, we enrolled patients with pT1a-MM/pT1b-SM ESCC after ESD at 21 institutions in Japan. Overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were compared between the additional treatment and follow-up groups after propensity score matching, to reduce the bias of baseline characteristics. A subgroup analysis was performed according to the pathological findings: category A, pT1a-MM but negative for lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and vertical margin (VM); category B, tumor invasion into the submucosa ≤ 200 μm but negative for LVI and VM; category C, others. RESULTS Of 593 patients with pT1a-MM/pT1b-SM ESCC after ESD, 101 matched pairs were extracted after propensity score matching. The OSs were similar between the additional treatment and follow-up groups (80.6% vs. 78.6% in 5 years; P = 0.972). In a subgroup analysis, the OS in the additional treatment group was significantly lower than that in the follow-up group (65.7% vs. 95.2% in 5 years; P = 0.037) in category A, whereas OS did not significantly differ in category C (76.8% vs. 69.5% in 5 years; P = 0.360). CONCLUSIONS Additional treatment after ESD in patients with pT1a-MM/pT1b-SM ESCC was not associated with an improved prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although salvage endoscopic resection is an optimal treatment for local failure after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, recurrent metastasis (lymph node and/or distant metastasis) after salvage endoscopic resection may occur with a certain degree of unavoidable frequency and is associated with a poor prognosis. However, the risk factors for recurrent metastasis are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for recurrent metastasis after salvage endoscopic resection. METHODS Patients who underwent salvage endoscopic resection for local failure after chemoradiotherapy/radiotherapy were analyzed in this single-center, retrospective study. We evaluated the cumulative incidence rates of recurrent metastases, overall survival, and the risk factors for recurrent metastasis after salvage endoscopic resection. RESULTS We analyzed 132 patients. The 5-year cumulative incidence rate of recurrent metastases after salvage endoscopic resection was 25.7%. The 5-year overall survival rates in all patients and in patients with recurrent metastasis were 66.8% and 22.5%, respectively. Local failure pattern with a residual lesion after chemoradiotherapy/radiotherapy (subdistribution hazard ratio 2.34; P = 0.012) and the presence of lymphatic invasion in salvage endoscopic resection specimen (subdistribution hazard ratio 3.20; P = 0.002) were significant risk factors for recurrent metastasis. CONCLUSIONS Patients with local failure pattern with a residual lesion after chemoradiotherapy/radiotherapy and presence of lymphatic invasion have a high risk for recurrent metastasis. Thus, appropriate surveillance for these patients should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With growing application of endoscopic therapy for early-stage esophageal cancer, we sought to review our experience of endoscopic mucosal resections (EMRs). The aim of our study was to understand the natural course of these patients, especially with positive margins. METHODS A prospectively maintained database of all patients undergoing endoscopic therapies at Georgetown University Hospital for esophageal cancer was used for the analysis between 2010 and 2020. RESULTS Of 80 patients in the EMR database, 35 were performed as index cases for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Majority (74.3%) had a pre-treatment ultrasound confirming absence of regional adenopathy. There were no post-EMR bleeding or perforation events requiring re-intervention. Complete R0 resection was achieved in 22/35 (62.9%) after initial EMR. Thirteen patients had positive margins. Of these 13 patients, only 7 patients underwent repeat endoscopic resection, 2 underwent subsequent esophagectomy, 2 received definitive radiation given poor surgical candidacy, and 2 were lost to follow-up. Overall and 5-year survival of all patients undergoing EMR was 67.9 months and 85%, respectively. Subset analysis of the 13 patients with R1 resection demonstrated an overall survival of 49.2 months and 60% 5-year survival vs overall survival of 78.9 months and 93% 5-year survival for R0 resection. At a median follow-up of 60.5 months, cancer recurrence occurred in 3 patients. All of them were successfully managed with repeat EMR. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic resections represent a safe and effective treatment for early-stage esophageal cancer. Patients with high-risk features should be counseled to undergo an esophagectomy if they are operable candidates.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) often cannot be discovered in time because of its asymptomatic or symptom-atypical characteristics in early stage. The risk and probability of lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis increase correspondingly as the cancer aggressively invades deeper layers. Treatment regimens may be shifted to surgery and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) from endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) with poor quality of life and prognosis. It is imperative to identify dysplasia and EC early and enable early curative endoscopic treatments. Newer methods have been attempted in the clinical setting to achieve early detection at a more microscopic and precise level. Newer imaging techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) technology have been involved in targeted biopsies and will gradually unveil the visualization of pathology in the future. Early detection and diagnosis are the prerequisite to choose personal and precise treatment regimens. EET has also been undergoing development and improvement to benefit more patients as the first option or the firstly chosen alternative therapy, when compared with esophagectomy. More clinical studies are needed to provide more possibilities for EET.

Abstract
AIM To review the efficacy and outcomes of endoscopic resection in the diagnosis and treatment of oesophageal squamous dysplasia and early neoplasia. METHODS This was a retrospective study between May 2012-2018. Twenty-one patients were treated with or considered for treatment with endoscopic resection at a tertiary hospital in the UK. The primary outcome was curative resection, defined as histologically proven complete resection of the lesion with deep/vertical margin ≥1 mm from neoplasia. Secondary outcomes were changes in staging from endoscopic resection histology, whether there was a complete reversal of dysplasia at 12-months or the latest endoscopic follow-up and 5-year overall survival rate. RESULTS Seventeen patients (mean age = 66.5 years) with 20 lesions (35% en-bloc; 65% piecemeal resections) had endoscopic resection performed. Complete resection was achieved in 90% of lesions by endoscopic criteria, but this was confirmed in fewer lesions histologically. Curative resection was achieved histologically in 60% of lesions (11 patients) and noncurative resection in 40% of lesions (6 patients). Changes in staging from endoscopic resection histology were found in 79.2% of lesions (41.7% upstaged; 37.5% downstaged). No patients were found to have recurrence at their 12-month endoscopic follow-up. Eight of the 11 patients (72.7%) with curative resection remained clear of dysplasia/neoplasia throughout their follow-up (mean, 24.3 months; median, 19 months). The five-year overall survival rate was 64%. CONCLUSION In UK, endoscopic resection is useful in the management of early squamous neoplasia both for staging and (by piecemeal endoscopic resection in elderly unfit) for medium- to long-term disease clearance.

Abstract
Background We analyzed the pathological characteristics and recurrence pattern of cN0 submucosal esophageal cancer after esophagectomy and conducted risk stratification to determine the feasibility of performing endoscopic resection for cN0pT1b esophageal squamous cell malignancies. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 167 patients who underwent right-sided transthoracic esophagectomy and extended thoracic/abdominal two-field lymphadenectomy. Patients with pathologically confirmed lymph node metastasis or tumor recurrence constituted the high-risk group for endoscopic submucosal resection, and the remainder were defined as low risk. Factors affecting lymphatic metastasis and long-term recurrence were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Postoperative pathology showed that five patients (5/167; 3%) had lymph node metastases. Follow-up ranged from 12–60 months, with a median of 29 months. A total of 17 patients (10.2%) had recurrences during follow-up, including three patients with pathologic nodal metastasis (pN +) found at surgery. Invasion depth, differentiation, and tumor size differed significantly in high-risk patients. Overall 3-year survival rates were 94.2% (low-risk) and 40.9% (high-risk) (p < 0.01). Twenty-one patients with sm1 cancer, high tumor differentiation, and tumor length < 2 cm had no lymph node metastasis or lymphovascular invasion, and none of these patients experienced recurrence. Conclusions Endoscopic submucosal resection alone may be feasible for patients with small (≤ 2 cm) clinically N0 submucosal esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with low invasion depth (sm1) and higher differentiation, but prospective studies are required for confirmation. Other patients require surgical resection with extended two-field thoracic/abdominal lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a deadly disease, partly because it is often diagnosed late in disease stage. An accurate early diagnosis by endoscopy could detect advanced carcinoma as well as curable dysplasia and early ESCC. This could save patients from incurable advanced malignancy. Important progress has been made in high-quality endoscopic diagnosis, including magnifying endoscopy, narrowband imaging, and other image enhancement, as well as in techniques in endoscopic resection. These emerging techniques will aid the early diagnosis of ESCC that lead to higher chance of curing the cancer.

Abstract
In the past decade there have been technological advances in Endoscopic Eradication Therapy (EET) for the management of patients with oesophageal neoplasia and early cancer. Multiple endoscopic techniques now exist for both squamous and Barrett's oesophagus associated neoplasia or early cancer. A fundamental aspect of endotherapy is removal of the target lesion by endoscopic mucosal resection, or endosopic submucosal dissection. Residual tissue is subsequently ablated to remove the risk of recurrence. The most validated technique for Barrett's oesophagus is radiofrequency ablation, but other techniques such as hybrid-APC and cryotherapy also show good results. This chapter will discuss the evolution of EET, and which patients are most likely to benefit. It will also explore the evidence behind the success of different techniques and provide practical advice on how to carry out the endoscopic techniques with a focus on radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic mucosal resection in particular.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted procedure for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) because of a high complete resection rate. However, there were a few reports about the long-term outcomes of these patients due to short follow-up periods. AIMS We aimed to evaluate the 5-year survival after ESD for superficial ESCN. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study performed at a single institution. Between 2006 and 2009, 94 patients with superficial ESCN underwent ESD. Eighty-three patients (93.3%) who had completed an extended period of observation of at least 5 years were enrolled. The main outcomes were the 5-year survival rates. The secondary outcomes were the cumulative incidence rate of metachronous ESCN, and the clinical outcomes. RESULTS The 5-year relative overall survival rate was 99.0%, whereas the cause specific survival rate was 100% during 72.9 months of median follow up period. Subgroup analysis showed that the 5year survival of patients with EP/LPM and MM/SM1 (submucosal invasion ≤200μm) were 100% and 89.0%, respectively. The cumulative incidence rate of metachronous ESCN at 5 years was 16.8%. CONCLUSION ESD for superficial ESCN is a curative treatment with a favorable 5-year survival rate.
