Clinicopathological characteristics of synchronous multiple primary early esophageal cancer and risk factors for multiple lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the development of endoscopic technology, the detection rate of synchronous multiple primary early esophageal cancer (SMPEEC) is increasing; however, the risk factors remain unclear. We aimed to assess the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with SMPEEC and investigate the risk factors contributing to the development of multiple lesions.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 911 consecutive patients who underwent Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for primary esophageal neoplasms from January 2013 to June 2021. The patients were divided into the SMPEEC group and the solitary early esophageal cancer (SEEC) group. We compared the differences in clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups and investigated the risk f
