Prognostic risk factors for T1 thoracic esophageal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal cancer has a poor overall prognosis and a high incidence of post-treatment complications. This study aimed to analyze the common surgical methods for treating T1 thoracic esophageal cancer and explore its prognostic risk factors to provide a basis for appropriate treatment selection.
