The Rare Upper Thoracic and Cervical Esophageal <scp>GIST</scp> Resected Through Thoracoscopic Esophageal Mobilization and a Cervical Approach: A Case Report
The surgical approach of large tumors of the upper thoracic and cervical esophageal GIST, including esophageal resection and reconstruction methods, needs to be carefully considered in advance. A cervical approach for esophageal resection is considered useful when it is difficult to resect the tumor's proximal end within the thoracic cavity safely.
