Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Esophageal adenocarcinoma and precancerous lesions 2. Current antiplatelet, anticoagulant, or thrombolytic therapy (such as with warfarin, heparin, clopidogrel, aspirin, streptokinase, and urokinase) 3. Myocardial infarction or other severe heart diseases in the past 6 months 4. Serious cerebrovascular diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, in the past 6 months 5.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pathological complete response (pCR) measured using histopathological specimens after endoscopic resection

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time from resection to recurrence of tumor or death, measured using data collected in medical records at one time point 2. Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from study inclusion to death, measured using data collected in medical records at one time point
