DOTE Volume 35, Issue 2: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Free Article
This systematic review summarizes the latest evidence for the clinical applicability of ctDNA technology in esophageal cancer. The review of 15 articles demonstrates that ctDNA testing can be used to detect patients with cancer; differentiate between different stages and grades of esophageal cancers; characterize the molecular heterogeneity present within and between patients; assess treatment response and monitor tumor progression.
DOTE Volume 35, Issue 2: Malignant Esophageal Disease
Free Article
This study aimed to capture the variation in postoperative surveillance strategies across the UK and Ireland, and enquire the opinions and beliefs around surveillance from practicing clinicians. Amongst surgeons from high-volume centers, there is little consensus on what follow-up should involve in terms of time-frame, personnel involved, and the components of follow-up, although there is agreement that patient preference and comorbidities are significant factors to consider in planning surveillance. Given the above, further prospective work specifically randomized controlled trials are necessary to link surveillance strategies to both survival outcomes and patient-related outcomes on quality of life.
