Daniel Tong and Simon Law from Hong Kong on cancer of the esophagus and Drs. Jon Wee, Shelby Steward, and Raphael Bueno from The Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, on surgical procedures to resect and replace the esophagus. We begin by stating both chapters are exceedingly well written, informative, and enlightening. Our reading identified areas where we were moved to comment based on our personal experience. The comments usually take the form of additional thoughts or alternatives. Occasionally, we raise a note of caution or take a controversial point of view.
