Limited data indicate an elevated risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) after neoadjuvant chemoradiation in esophageal cancer however the role of AF as an independent predictor of outcomes post-esophagectomy remains under-studied. Outcomes over a 5-year period were mortality, ischemic stroke, and use of anticoagulation.
