Endoscopic therapy replaces surgery for clinical T1 oesophageal cancer in the Netherlands: a nationwide population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic resection for early oesophageal cancer was introduced around 2000 in the Netherlands. The scientific question was how the treatment and survival of early oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer has changed over time in the Netherlands.

Methods

Data were obtained from the nationwide population-based Netherlands Cancer Registry. All patients diagnosed with clinical in situ or T1 oesophageal or GOJ cancer without lymph node or distance metastasis during the study period (2000-2014) were extracted. Primary outcome parameters were the trends in treatment modalities over time and relative survival of each treatment regime.

Results

A total of 1020 patients were diagnosed with a clinical in situ or T1 oesophageal or gastro-oesophageal junction
