BACKGROUND: Reliable prognostic biomarkers are urgently needed for operable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), as conventional histopathology often fails to detect minimal residual disease and accurately predict patient outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study investigated the mutational patterns in ESCC and the prognostic value of shared mutations between tumors and margins (margin-informed tumor, MiT)...
