| Core Tip |
Squamous cell cancer of the esophagus is an aggressive pathology with a poor prognosis and therefore early intervention is paramount to improve survival. Minimally invasive endoscopic therapy with endoscopic resection and radiofrequency ablation in patients with early squamous neoplasia of the esophagus has the potential to treat selected patients. Early response to RFA is prognostically important. Further studies with more patient numbers are required to explore the long and short term efficacy of this intervention in these complex patients. |
