Palliative radiotherapy in addition to self-expanding metal stent for improving dysphagia and survival in advanced oesophageal cancer (ROCS: Radiotherapy after Oesophageal Cancer Stenting):study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundThe single most distressing symptom for patients with advanced esophageal cancer is dysphagia. Amongst the more effective treatments for relief of dysphagia is insertion of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS).

Annali dell'Istituto superiore di sanita, 1996
After early rises, oesophageal cancer mortality rates have tended to level off in Italy over the last two decades, and are now intermediate on a European scale (4.7/100000 males, 0.8/100000 females, world standard). This reflects the trends in consumption of the major risk factors for the disease, tobacco and alcohol, particularly in men. Within Italy,

High endothelin-converting enzyme-1 expression independently predicts poor survival of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Tumor Biology, 2017
Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma have poor survival and high recurrence rate, thus an effective prognostic biomarker is needed. Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 is responsible for biosynthesis of endothelin-1, which promotes growth and ...
