Perioperative outcomes of esophagectomy after doublet versus docetaxel‐based triplet neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients: A nationwide inpatient database study in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this nationwide inpatient database study of 5229 patients aged 70–79 years who underwent esophagectomy for cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, overlap propensity score weighting analysis showed that neoadjuvant docetaxel‐based triplet regimen (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5‐fluorouracil) was not associated with a higher incidence of perioperative ...

A severity‐based tumor‐superior mesenteric/portal vein interface grading criteria as a predictor of survival outcomes in pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
PDAC patients with the radiological severe interface (≥25 contact length and ≥210 degrees circumferential tumor‐SMV/PV interface) may help predict poor survival outcomes preoperatively. Abstract Aim To assess the ability of a new severity‐based tumor‐superior mesenteric/portal vein interface criteria to predict survival outcomes in pancreatic ductal ...
