Author contributions: Shu WY and Shi YY contributed equally to this work; Li Y and Ding SG designed the research study; Shu WY, Huang JT, Cui RL, and Zhang HJ performed the research; Shi YY contributed analytic tools and methods; Shu WY, Shi YY, Huang JT, Meng LM, Cui RL, and Zhang HJ analyzed the data and wrote the manuscript; All authors have read and approved the final manuscript. Li Y and Ding SG contributed equally to this work as co-corresponding authors—the reasons for designating Li Y and Ding SG as co-corresponding authors are twofold. First, the research was performed as a collaborative effort, and the designation of co-corresponding authorship accurately reflects the distribution of responsibilities and burdens associated with the time and effort required to complete the study and the resultant paper. This also ensures effective communication and management of post-submission matters, ultimately enhancing the paper's quality and reliability. Second, Li Y and Ding SG contributed efforts of equal substance throughout the research process. The choice of these researchers as co-corresponding authors acknowledges and respects this equal contribution while recognizing the spirit of teamwork and collaboration in this study. In summary, we believe that designating Li Y and Ding SG as co-corresponding authors fits our manuscript as it accurately reflects our team's collaborative spirit and equal contributions.

Core Tip
Core Tip: Based on the Japan Esophageal Society (JES) classification, this study first clarified the differences in pathological microvascular structures of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which correspond to the deepest parts of the lesions’ infiltration. The results show significant differences in the pathological structures of the intrapapillary capillary loops, which correspond to the deepest parts of the lesions’ infiltration, between the different types. This finding might help optimize the JES classification and potentially advance the accuracy of endoscopic biopsy diagnosis.
