Small bowel metastasis during organ preservation in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: case report and literature review
Organ-preserving surgery for esophageal cancer significantly improves patients' short-term quality of life. However, owing to incomplete monitoring measures, a cautious approach should be maintained when implementing organ-preserving surgery at this stage. For patients undergoing organ-preserving surgery, continuous active monitoring is essential. Timely intervention should be provided when clinical symptoms arise, and personalized treatment plans should be developed, while remaining vigilant for metastasis at unexpected sites.
