Biruni University Makes an International Scientific Contribution to Esophageal Cancer Surgery
A study led by Dr. Pırıltı Özcan from the General Surgery Department at Biruni University Medical Faculty Hospital was presented as a poster at the 17th World Esophagus Conference (Esophagus 2026) held in Versailles, France.

The study, presented at a congress that brought together leading experts from around the world in the field of esophageal diseases and surgery, evaluated the safety and short term outcomes of a surgical approach used in patients with advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma.
The research assessed the safety and early outcomes of performing simultaneous organ resections during esophageal surgery in carefully selected patients whose tumors had spread to adjacent organs.
Findings Shared with the International Scientific Community
The study demonstrated that, with appropriate patient selection, simultaneous organ resections could be performed with acceptable complication rates and may contribute to improved oncological clearance. However, the researchers also emphasized that these complex procedures should only be planned after a thorough evaluation of the patient's overall health, the extent and location of tumor spread, and the potential benefit the patient is expected to gain from surgery.
The findings once again highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in esophageal cancer surgery while contributing to the scientific literature on surgical strategies for patients with advanced stage disease.
Scientific Excellence on the International Stage
Biruni University continues to present its research in the field of health sciences on international scientific platforms. This study, presented at the prestigious Esophagus 2026 World Congress, stands as an important example of the university's scientific achievements and its growing international academic presence.
