Reference high‐resolution manometry values after magnetic sphincter augmentation

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021
Upper limit of normality for IRP and intrabolus pressure was higher after magnetic sphincter augmentation compared to normative Chicago v3.0 values. Patients in whom crura repair was part of the surgical procedure had a significantly higher IRP and better control of reflux symptoms.

Esophageal Lipoma and Liposarcoma: A Systematic Review

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgery, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 225-234, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Esophageal lipomatous tumors, also reported as fibrovascular polyp, fibrolipoma, angiolipoma, and liposarcoma, account for less than 1% of all benign mesenchymal submucosal tumors of the esophagus. Clinical presentation and therapy may differ based on location, size, and morphology.

Residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal cancer: locations undetected by endoscopic biopsies in the preSANO trial

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 13, Page 1791-1800, December 2020., 2020
Remnant cancer missed by endoscopic biopsies was located in the mucosa in two‐thirds of patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). One‐third of patients had residual disease in the submucosa underneath a tumour‐free mucosa. The yield of biopsies in active surveillance after nCRT could be improved by sampling larger areas

Geographical differences in cancer treatment and survival for patients with oesophageal and gastro‐oesophageal junctional cancers

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1500-1509, October 2020., 2020
This national cohort study of 5959 patients with oesophageal and gastro‐oesophageal junction (GOJ) cancer showed improved survival for patients in counties with a higher rate of treatment with curative intent and higher resection rate. Explanation needed Background Only around one‐quarter of patients with cancer of the oesophagus and the gastro ...

Physiological performance and inflammatory markers as indicators of complications after oesophageal cancer surgery

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 840-846, October 2020., 2020
C‐reactive protein concentration and peak oxygen uptake are collective independent risk factors that can account for over half of major morbidity following oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. A composite risk score, the Combined Inflammatory and Physiology Score (CIPS) (range 0–2), predicted major morbidity (17·9 per cent in patients with a CIPS of ...

Minimally invasive techniques for transthoracic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer: systematic review and network meta‐analysis

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 787-803, October 2020., 2020
Minimally invasive and robotic techniques for oesophagectomy are associated with reduced perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay, with no compromise of oncological outcomes but no improvement in perioperative mortality. There are suggestions of improved long‐term survival with minimally invasive oesophagectomy and robotic minimally invasive

Thromboembolic and bleeding complications in patients with oesophageal cancer

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 10, Page 1324-1333, September 2020., 2020
A total of 511 patients who underwent curative chemoradiotherapy and subsequent tumour resection for oesophageal cancer were reviewed retrospectively for bleeding events and arterial or venous thromboembolism (VTE). During the 2‐year follow‐up, 50 patients (9·8 per cent) developed VTE, 20 (3·9 per cent) arterial thromboembolism, 21 (4·1 per cent) major

Propensity score regression analysis of oesophageal adenocarcinoma treatment with surgery alone or neoadjuvant chemotherapy

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 593-600, August 2020., 2020
Following propensity adjustment for stage, age and sex, neoadjuvant therapy was not associated with survival. Tumour regression is a powerful prognostic indicator, and future research should focus on identifying patients who will derive the most benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Liquid biopsy for cancer diagnosis using vibrational spectroscopy: systematic review

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 554-562, August 2020., 2020
This article provides a systematic review of analysis by vibrational spectroscopy (VS) of human blood for cancer diagnosis – a spectral ‘liquid biopsy’. VS showed high potential for cancer diagnosis, but standardized reporting methods and more robust studies are needed before its value in clinical practice can be determined.

Prognostic and predictive values of tumour budding in stage IV colorectal cancer

open access: yesBJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 693-703, August 2020., 2020
In stage IV colorectal cancer, tumour budding graded by International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference criteria is an important morphological marker that can predict prognosis and, possibly, tumour chemoresistance. The clinical relevance was maintained consistently in both resection subgroups (R0/R1 and R2/unresected).
