    Abstract This ASO perspective reviews the findings of a randomized placebo-controlled, clinical trial evaluating adjuvant nivolumab in esophageal or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma, reported recently by the Checkmate 577 investigators. The use of postoperative immunotherapy represents a significant paradigm shift for managing patients who have had limited evidence-based treatment options after completing neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by resection for these aggressive malignancies.

    Abstract Since the 1970s, studies have demonstrated a strong association between operative volume and outcomes such as death and complications, particularly for complex cancer resections such as esophagectomy. The denouement has been to suggest that this operation should be directed toward specialized centers of esophageal cancer care, with operative volume thresholds being the primary basis for evidence-based hospital referral. This article reviews early efforts to centralize esophagectomy, as reported from other countries such as England, Canada, and the Netherlands, as well as the potential effect on access to care from instituting such policies in the United States.

    Abstract Introduction: Esophagectomy is the mainstay of treatment for patients with resectable esophageal cancer, and chemotherapy and chemoradiation have become essential adjuncts to improve survival. Controversy remains regarding the optimal perioperative therapy.
    Methods: This review focuses on three landmark, randomized, controlled trials that have greatly influenced esophageal cancer management and established chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy as standard of care: Medical Research Council Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy Trial (MAGIC); The United Kingdom Medical Research Council Esophageal Cancer Trial (OEO2); and Chemoradiotherapy for Oesophageal Cancer Followed by Surgery Study (CROSS).
    Results: The findings from these landmark studies are reviewed and summarized.
    Conclusion: Chemotherapy regimens are heterogeneous but centered around platinum-based therapy and should be included in the management for all appropriate patients. Ongoing and future studies will further delineate the roles of various chemo- and chemoradiotherapy regimens and also will investigate the promising area of immunotherapy in the treatment of esophageal cancer.

    Abstract Cellular metabolism plays an essential role in the regrowth and regeneration of a neuron following physical injury. Yet, our knowledge of the specific metabolic pathways that are beneficial to neuron regeneration remains sparse. Previously, we have shown that modulation of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) signaling, a ubiquitous post-translational modification that acts as a cellular nutrient sensor, can significantly enhance in vivo neuron regeneration. Here, we define the specific metabolic pathway by which O-GlcNAc transferase (

    Abstract Background: Gender and geographic access to care play a large role in health disparities in esophageal cancer care. The aim of our study was to evaluate disparities in peri-operative outcomes for patients undergoing esophagectomy based on gender and geographic location.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort of prospectively collected data from patients who underwent esophagectomy from 2003 to 2022 was identified and analyzed based on gender and county, which were aggregated into existing state-level "metropolitan" versus "rural" designations. The demographics, pre-operative treatment, surgical complications, post-operative outcomes, and length of stay (LOS) of each group were analyzed using chi-squared, paired
    Results: Of the 1545 patients, men (83.6%) and women (16.4%) experienced similar rates of post-operative complications, but women experienced significantly longer hospital (
    Conclusions: Rural female patients undergoing esophagectomy were more likely to have a longer inpatient recovery process compared with their female metropolitan or male counterparts, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions in this population.

    Abstract As leaders, cardiothoracic surgeons must learn about and undergo transitions during the stages of a successful career. The authors discuss the process of transitions and the roles of networks to support professional transitions. The role of engagement in surgical organizations to create these networks and help support professional transitions is also explored. Finally, the authors describe how our engagement in surgical organizations can successfully impact our specialty of cardiothoracic surgery.
