Core Tip	The disease recurrence rate after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early esophageal cancer was 14.19%. A low degree of differentiation, infiltration into the submucosa, incomplete tumor resection, and tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence. Accurate assessment of these risk factors can help inform personalized follow-up strategies and secondary treatment plans to increase patients’ chances of long-term survival.
