ESOPHAGEAL RESECTION FOR CANCER
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1998Currently, relatively safe, reliable resection techniques are available for most patients with esophageal carcinoma who present with nonmetastatic disease. For optimal results, the surgeon must be familiar with both transhiatal and transthoracic approaches and must individualize the approach depending on the tumor size and location and the patient's ...

Epidemiology of esophageal cancer
Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1989AbstractThe incidence of cancer of the oesophagus is high in India but not as high as the rates reported from the Caspian Littoral of Iran. Incidence data available for three places in India—Bombay, Madras, and Bangalore—show regional variations. In Bombay, the rates for males are high compared to Madras and Bangalore.A case control study of 503 ...

There are three traditional therapeutic modalities employed in the treatment of esophageal cancer; surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These modalities have been utilized, either in combination or alone, as primary or adjuvant therapy for locally advanced disease as well as palliative therapy for metastatic disease.

Early esophageal cancer (EEC) accounted for only seven (4.7%) of 148 cases of esophageal cancer diagnosed at the authors' hospital between 1977 and 1984. Two patients with EEC had squamous cell carcinoma and five had adenocarcinoma arising in Barrett's mucosa.

Chemoradiation for Esophageal Cancer
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2013Esophageal cancer management is based on baseline clinical stage, location of the tumor, and associated comorbid conditions. In patients with localized esophageal cancer (LEC) with technically resectable tumors and who are medically fit for surgery, the current recommendation is trimodality therapy (chemoradiation followed by surgery).

Nutrition and esophageal cancer
Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1989AbstractSeveral case control studies in esophageal cancer employing a food‐frequency dietary questionnaire suggested a fairly uniform dietary pattern which could be implicated in the causation of the disease. Although various micronutrients (vitamins and trace elements) have also been found to have either a positive or negative association, findings ...

Pharmacogenetics in Esophageal Cancer
Seminars in Oncology, 2005The current oncology practice of treating cancer with aggressive doses of radiation and chemotherapy is potentially disastrous, as response and side effects vary depending on several factors including pharmacogenetics. This study is the first to evaluate esophageal cancer treatment with a pharmacogenetic paradigm and its application of pharmacogenetic ...

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2005
Although the prognosis for patients with early cancer is good, throughout the world the majority of patients present with advanced disease, and in them, survival is poor. Accurate staging is essential to inform prognosis; to select candidates who may be cured by surgery alone; to select patients requiring neoadjuvant therapy, especially when new ...

Screening for Esophageal Cancer
Journal of Gastroenterology and HepatologyABSTRACT Esophageal cancer remains a global health burden with poor survival, largely due to late diagnosis. The two main subtypes—esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC)—differ in their epidemiology, risk factors, and geographic distribution, highlighting the importance of region‐specific ...
