摘要："This editorial comments on the article by Qu et al in a recent edition of World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology, focusing on the importance of early diagnosis in managing esophageal cancer and strategies for achieving ""early detection"". The five-year age-standardized net survival for esophageal cancer patients falls short of expectations. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are critical strategies for improving the treatment outcomes of esophageal cancer. While advancements in endoscopic technology have been significant, there seems to be an excessive emphasis on the latest high-end endoscopic devices and various endoscopic resection techniques. Therefore, it is imperative to redirect focus towards proactive early detection strategies for esophageal cancer, investigate the most cost-effective screening methods suitable for different regions, and persistently explore practical solutions to improve the five-year survival rate of patients with esophageal cancer."
