“…ESCC incidence rates continue to decrease in most western countries and in some high-risk countries due, in part, to the decrease in smoking prevalence (men only) and alcohol consumption, improved socioeconomic status, and the availability of more fruit and vegetables in high-risk areas (102,138,152). However, incidence rates for ESCC have continued to increase in some countries such as Taiwan due, in part, to increased consumption of cigarettes, alcohol, and betel nuts (153).…”

While incidence and mortality rates for most cancers (including lung, colorectum, female breast, and prostate) are decreasing in the United States and many other western countries, they are increasing in several less developed and economically transitioning countries because of adoption of unhealthy western lifestyles such as smoking and physical inactivity and consumption of calorie-dense food. Indeed, the rates for lung and colon cancers in a few of these countries have already surpassed those in the United States and other western countries. Most developing countries also continue to be disproportionately affected by cancers related to infectious agents, such as cervix, liver, and stomach cancers. The proportion of new cancer cases diagnosed in less developed countries is projected to increase from about 56% of the world total in 2008 to more than 60% in 2030 because of the increasing trends in cancer rates and expected increases in life expectancy and growth of the population. In this review, we describe these changing global incidence and mortality patterns for select common cancers and the opportunities for cancer prevention in developing countries.

“…Recommended surveillance intervals provided in the AGA medical position statement suggest intervals of 3-5 years for patients who have no dysplasia, 6-12 months for those with low-grade dysplasia (LGD), and every 3 months for patients with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) who receive no ablation therapy; however, it is a weak recommendation accompanied by lowquality evidence [35]. In Asia including Japan, although the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been increasing in recent years [49][50][51][52][53], EAC remains rare and has not increased [54][55][56][57].…”

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignant condition of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Although the incidence of BE has risen rapidly in the West, it is rare in Asia despite a recent increase in the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Controversies over the definition of BE are presented because most cases show shortsegment BE, especially ultra-short BE, in Asia. Here we review possible risk factors for the development of EAC, particularly possible roles of ethnicity, specialized intestinal metaplasia (SIM), BE length, and environmental factors, such as Helicobacter pylori infection and obesity. Additionally, we summarize recent studies on the effect of chemoprevention including proton pump inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin in order to reduce the risk of neoplastic progression in BE patients. Although substantial knowledge of risk factors of dysplasia/EAC in BE is shown, the risk for neoplastic development may be influenced by geographic variation, study population, the presence or absence of SIM or dysplasia at baseline, and the small number of BE patients investigated. Recently, the efficiency of surveillance for BE patients has been discussed from the standpoint of cost-effectiveness. It may be too difficult to draw conclusions because no randomized clinical trials of BE surveillance have been performed.

“…The mortality rate of esophagectomy remains high with associated procedural complexity. In addition, with different major histological types, mainly adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, the postoperative complications and treatment may differ between Western and Asian countries (2). Recently there are significant progress in surgical techniques (3), intraoperative goaled-directed fluid management and perioperative care.…”

Perioperative management and outcomes of minimally invasive esophagectomy: case study of a high-volume tertiary center in Taiwan

Background: Mortality and complication rates for surgical esophagectomy remain high despite progress in surgical techniques and perioperative care. Minimally invasive surgery and intraoperative goal-directed fluid management are gaining popularity in Taiwan; however, perioperative complications and shortterm outcomes have been rarely reported. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the surgical procedures performed as well as the perioperative outcomes and treatments after esophagectomy in a high-volume medical center in Taiwan Although McKeown MIE bore a significantly longer surgical time and higher intraoperatively-infused crystalloid than did Ivor Lewis MIE, there were no significant differences regarding postoperative cardiothoracic complications and patient outcomes. Conclusions: Postoperative outcomes of McKeown MIE and Ivor-Lewis MIE were comparable in our center and short term outcomes were similar to those in previous reports. However, despite neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT), the use of minimally invasive techniques, and well-controlled anesthesia, the incidence of perioperative complications remains high. Our results suggest that patients with preoperative comorbidity of arrhythmia, heart diseases, and CKD are associated with more common postoperative complications. Furthermore, postoperative dysrhythmias, pulmonary complications, and AKI warrant special anesthetic and surgical care to prevent prolonged ICU stay.
