AB It  was  a  pleasure  to  receive  a  letter  from  Dr  Michael  Zinner  inviting  me  to  write  a  perspective  on  the  chapters  of  Dr  Simon  Law's  group  from  Hong  Kong  on  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  esophageal  cancer,  Dr  David  Sugarbaker's  group  from  Boston  on  the  techniques  used  to  resect  the  esophagus  and  reconstruct  the  foregut,  and  Dr  James  Luketich's  group  from  Pittsburgh  on  minimally  invasive  esophagectomy.  Of  truth,  I  have  rarely  read  such  well-written  and  thoroughly  thought-out  reviews.  While  reading,  I  identified  areas  where  I  was  motivated  to  comment  on  the  discussion  from  my  personal  experience.  These  usually  took  the  form  of  helpful  thoughts  or  alternatives.  Occasionally,  they  raised  a  note  of  caution  or  took  a  controversial  point  of  view.
