Summary

This study reviews medical records of 350 adults who had surgery for esophageal cancer in France between 2017 and 2024. Researchers want to understand how often infections happen after surgery, what causes them, and how they affect recovery. The goal is to find ways to prevent these infections and improve patient outcomes.
