Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives
MIE, including the thoracoscopic, robot-assisted, and mediastinoscopic approaches, is evolving into an effective and less invasive alternative to open surgery. Future research should focus on conducting standardized, multicenter trials to establish optimal surgical strategies based on tumor characteristics and patient-specific factors.
