چکیده
The treatment of esophageal cancer is complex and labor intensive. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach and a cohesive team. Centralization of care and creation of centers of excellence with high esophageal surgical volume leads to improved outcomes (1,2). Our multi-disciplinary team at Moffitt Cancer Center reached a consensus in creating a treatment algorithm for esophageal cancer in order to standardize our institutional approach and treatment.
