Now, in this remarkable work by Giovanni de Manzoni on squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and hypopharynx,our wishes,at leastt in terms of these pathologies, have come true. Instructive texts are,almost by definition,never produced casually,especial- ly those addressing surgical issues. Indeed, the order, clarity, accuracy, and exhaustiveness of this work reveal the author’s many years of experience,devel- oped at the prestigious School of Verona led by Claudio Cordiano. This is not a textbook on surgical technique:nowadays,educational cartoons, drawings, and photographs have become nearly obsolete given all the readily available, top-quality visual aids we have quickly grown used to. Rather, the subject matter is scrutinized from all medical standpoints:epidemiology,classi- fication, staging, pre-operative evaluation protocols, and pre- and postoperative oncology, including molecular-biology-based information. In addition, com- ments on the accreditation of the facilities and surgeons best qualified to treatt these conditions are–duly and boldly–provided. Thanks to its careful method,effective synthesis,and explanatory clarity,this text is not only useful, it is also a pleasure to read. The explanations it provides are easily incorporated into everyday practice. This work is a significant contribution to the publishing goals of the Società Italiana di Chirurgia, whose approach and mission are to disseminate state-of- the art surgical knowledge. I am confident that works such as this one are an important step in communicating,in Italy and abroad,the high-quality achieved by Italian surgery. A surgeon’s job today is less and less based on manual dexterity and instead increasingly dependent on the ability to lead teams of specialists–a strategy that ensures the best results, especially in the field of oncology. This book, by de Manzoni and collaborators, is a powerful teaching instru- ment of particular interest to young surgeons completing their specialty training; vii viii Foreword in addition,residents will undoubtedly appreciate the knowledge it contains and readily use the information provided. I congratulate and thank Professor de Manzoni for his work, and sincerely hope that he will continue to produce such high-quality contributions as this one. Rome, October 2011 Gianluigi Melotti President, Italian Society of Surgery Foreword To read a book on esophageal cancer is, for me, a journey through my own life as a surgeon. My first contact with the Japanese experience was during a meet- ing, held in Rome in 1968, on esophagogastroplasty. In a single lecture, Nakayama made all previous reconstructive techniques essentially obsolete, from the Gavriliu procedure to jejunoplasty to the Ivor Lewis esophagogastrec- tomy. I performed my first esophagectomy in 1971, reported the use of the pull- through technique in Catania in 1977,during the Congress of the Italian Society of Surgery, and then engaged in a challenging but fruitful surgical competition with Alberto Peracchia, a master of esophageal surgery, and his pupil Ermanno Ancona, whom I remember with affection. After 1986, following a report by Girolamo Fracastoro, neoadjuvant treat- ment was introduced at our institution, based on the experience from Wayne State University (Detroit, MI, USA). The successful development of this approach was largely due to the enthusiasm and clinical skills of Felice Pasini. Surgery of the hypopharynx was accordingly standardized,in collaboration with Walter Mozzo and Oreste Mosciaro. In our institution my studies on end-to-end esophagogastric anastomosis contributed to the routine application of this tech- nique beginning in the late 1990s. My highly rewarding involvement in research on the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer was interrupted in 2005. In 2004,Ernesto Laterza,who had jjoined me in this work,left to become director of a surgical unit. This led me to reorganize the activity in my own department, such that Professor Giovanni de Manzoni,who was already in charge of gastric surgery,also took over responsi- bilities for esophageal surgery. In 2009,I asked Professor Enrico De Antoni and the Directive Council of the Society to promote a biennial lecture series on esophageal cancer. In Italy,esophageal surgery is a low-volume operation and research is carried out by only a few specialized surgical groups. Moreover, there have been only marginal gains over the past few years and the influence of those findings on practical clinic is still limited. ix x Foreword Giovanni de Manzoni intended this book to be a review of current informa- tion as well as an informative review at ongoing studies. It is aimed not only at surgeons but also at oncologists, radiotherapists, and radiologists. I am grateful to him not only for his acceptance of this enormous task but also because he has carried on the work I did in Verona for many years. Those very difficult and risky surgical activities trained and inspired me,and I am confident that his experience will be the same. I would like to thank once again the President of the Italian Society off Surgery,Professor Gianluigi Melotti,its directive council and its 2009 Presidentt for their acceptance of my proposal for this Biennial Conference,and for having assigned to Giovanni de Manzoni the realization of this event.
