Description
Yiqing Mei and co-authors present a 2026 study on a new combined surgery for early esophageal cancer. Scope removal of the tumor works well, but lymph nodes can still hide spread. Full radical surgery may overshoot for stage T1 disease. The trial compared three paths: scope removal alone, radical surgery, and a dual-scope method that takes nodes too.
Sixty-three matched patients, split evenly, fed the main comparison. Survival and recurrence rates did not differ among the three groups. Complications matched between the two scope routes and ran lower than with radical surgery. Scope patients also left hospital sooner and paid less. Their quality of life and nutrition scored better. The authors say the combined method may spare patients the burden of radical surgery.
