ABSTRACT
A considerable proportion of esophageal carcinoma patients could achieve pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy, for whom accurate response evaluation and active surveillance rather than surgery-aiming to avoid the complications, mortality and reduced quality of life after surgery-has become a research hotspot. To detect residual disease and predict pCR accurately by appropriate method(s) is the key of active surveillance strategy. In this article, we elaborated the active surveillance strategy of esophageal cancer and characteristics of different evaluation methods in terms of radiology, pathology and combined detection.
