Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This collection is the second edition of the Special Issue “Emerging Therapeutic Approaches to Esophageal Cancer” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/5NW29L6078).
The incidence of esophageal cancer, one of the least studied and deadliest malignancies, is continuously increasing worldwide. Due to a lack of early diagnosis, it often presents at an advanced stage. Currently, the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer involves chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy prior to surgery. Despite this trimodal approach, survival remains very poor, with a five-year survival rate of 20%. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies that serve adjunctive roles to surgery are required in order to improve survival in esophageal cancer patients.
