Abstract

Improvements in centralization, hospital resources (i.e. daily 24-hour on-call oesophagogastric surgeons and radiologists), access to minimal access surgery, and adoption of newer techniques for improving lymph node yield could improve textbook outcome. Understanding how these individual parameters help improve quality of patient care should be the focus of future research and will present a strong message globally to improve outcomes.
