Combined‐modality therapy for gastric cancer
Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 2003AbstractGastric cancer has a poor prognosis. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, and potentially curative treatments often can not be exercised. Even when a curative surgical resection is possible, only a minority of patients survive beyond 5 years, and locoregional failures are frequent among patients undergoing curative resections.

Combined modality therapy for pancreatic cancer
Seminars in Oncology, 2003In spite of the high mortality in pancreatic cancer, significant progress is being made. This review discusses multimodality therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer. According to several phase II trials and Gastrointestinal Tumor Study Group results, improvements in locoregional control and survival may be achieved when chemotherapy is added to ...

Combined Modality Therapy in the Elderly Population
Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2009The incidence of cancer among older patients continues to rise. The use of combined modality therapy has improved survival in a variety of malignancies, including rectal, head and neck, and lung cancer; however, the addition of chemotherapy increases substantially the toxicities of treatment.

Combined Modality Therapy for Rectal Cancer
The Cancer Journal, 2016The primary therapy for any potentially curative rectal cancer is surgery. For locally advanced tumors (i.e., T3-4 and/or node positive), the very high rate of local and distant recurrences has necessitated a standard adjuvant regimen of preoperative chemoradiation and postoperative chemotherapy.

Combined modality therapy of malignant melanoma
World Journal of Surgery, 1979AbstractThe major modalities of therapy, namely, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, are each of value in selected cases of malignant melanoma. However, because none of these therapies, alone, is capable of curing or controlling some subgroups of melanoma patients, combined modality therapy needs to be used more extensively. Surgery

Combined Modality Therapy of Esophageal Cancer
Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2008Esophageal cancer is a deadly disease. Only one third of patients with localized disease experience long-term survival. Over the past 20 years, investigators have evaluated neoadjuvant strategies to improve the outcomes of surgical management. Chemotherapy and radiation have been evaluated individually and in combination for preoperative management of ...

Combined modality therapy: Is it necessary for everyone?
Seminars in Colon and Rectal Surgery, 2013Abstract Survival and relapse in rectal cancer are intimately associated with disease stage. Although surgery remains the primary treatment modality for rectal cancer, its limitations as an isolated curative treatment are well recognized. Trimodality therapy combining surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation has improved local recurrence rates and ...

Preoperative combined modality therapy for pancreatic cancer
World Journal of Surgery, 1995AbstractCombined modality therapy can be administered prior to surgical resection for patients with operable pancreatic cancer. One important criteria used to select patients for this treatment sequence is the absence of arterial vascular encasement by tumor on thin‐section CT scanning; the absence of peritoneal seeding on surgical staging or ...
