Core Tip

Core Tip: This study suggests that combining Wendan Decoction with mosapride is an effective and safe therapy for managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after esophageal cancer surgery. It improves GERD symptoms, esophageal motility, gastric emptying, and the quality of life of patients. Larger studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to further validate these findings.
