Core Tip
Core Tip: With the continuous advancement of endoscopic therapeutic techniques, endoscopic treatment for early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions has become an increasing trend in recent years. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a minimally invasive therapeutic technique, has emerged in recent years for the treatment of gastrointestinal lesions and is widely adopted in Western countries. Given the high incidence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in China, this study primarily aimed to observe the clinical efficacy of endoscopic RFA in the treatment of early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous lesions and explore the factors influencing postoperative fever.
