Core Tip This article highlights how artificial intelligence (AI) enables a shift from anatomy-based staging to quantitative, image-driven prognostication in esophageal cancer. By integrating tumor radiomics with AI-derived body composition markers such as sarcopenia, survival models can capture both tumor aggressiveness and host vulnerability from routine imaging modalities. These multimodal approaches consistently outperform conventional staging in survival prediction and risk stratification. Despite challenges in standardization and validation, AI-based quantitative imaging offers a clinically scalable pathway toward personalized survival modeling and precision treatment planning in esophageal cancer.
