note = "Surgery, either alone or in combination with other therapeutic options (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy), remains an essential component of a multimodality approach to midstage esophageal cancer and an effective means to achieve a long-term disease-free state. However, despite considerable improvements in reducing the perioperative morbidity and mortality of esophageal resection, surgery alone-regardless of the approach-is inadequate to achieve a cure in the vast majority of patients.",
