Esophagectomy, a complex cancer surgery, poses substantial risks of major complications and death. To optimize patient outcomes, modern strategies focus on preventing and treating specific complications, implementing enhanced recovery practices, conducting thorough clinical and physiological risk assessments, involving high-volume surgical teams, and providing multimodal support. These approaches aim to safeguard and restore nutritional status, muscle health, and overall well-being throughout the patient’s journey. This study highlights a comprehensive strategy to improve perioperative outcomes for esophageal cancer patients.
