Endoscopic Diagnosis of Esophageal Neoplasms

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1992
Late stage cancers of the esophagus are routinely diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy. To improve the poor prognosis of patients with these diseases requires an approach that will detect these cancers at early stages when treatment is most likely to be curative.

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Superficial Esophageal Neoplasms

Journal of Analytical Oncology, 2021
Background and Aim: There has been a marked increase in the number of esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (SCNs) which are applicable to local treatment by virtue of recent developments in endoscopy. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective treatment for early noninvasive gastrointestinal cancers.

Molecular Diagnostics in Esophageal and Gastric Neoplasms

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2013
Esophageal carcinoma is the most rapidly increasing tumor in incidence in the United States. It has an established association with a precursor lesion (Barrett esophagus). Gastric carcinoma (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the world. The prognosis for patients with advanced stage GC and esophageal carcinoma is poor.

Positive esophageal cytology without detectable neoplasm

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1974
The only presently available means of improving an otherwise poor prognosis in carcinoma of the esophagus is early diagnosis. The authors describe 5 patients with dysphagia in whom positive cytologic specimens were obtained despite repeatedly negative x-ray, endoscopic, and biopsy procedures.

Molecular Diagnostics in Esophageal and Gastric Neoplasms

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2018
Esophageal cancer (EC) is rapidly increasing in incidence in the United States. Genetic changes associated with the development of EC involve the p16, p53, and APC genes. Human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER-2) overexpression is seen in gastroesophageal junction carcinoma and a subset gastric carcinoma (GC).

Learning curve for endoscopic submucosal dissection of esophageal neoplasms

Diseases of the Esophagus, 2015
There is a significant learning curve for endoscopic submucosal dissection of esophageal neoplasms that has not been fully characterized. This retrospective study included 33 consecutive superficial esophageal neoplasms for analysis of the learning curve for esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection based on a single, novice endoscopist's experience.

Lymph Node Dissection in Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Neoplasms

Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2007
The optimal lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer remains controversial. The choice of surgical access determines to a great extent the type of lymphadenectomy possible. En bloc resections and three-field lymphadenectomy are concepts pioneered in the West and East, respectively; both should be performed in specialized centers because such extended ...

Altered Expression of FHIT in Esophageal Neoplasm

2002
The FHIT (fragile histidine triad) gene located at chromosome region 3p14 has been reported to be deleted in a variety of common tumors including esophageal ...

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Esophageal Squamous Cell Neoplasms

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2006
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has recently been developed for en bloc resection of stomach neoplasms, which results in high tumor eradication rates as well as a modality for the precise histologic assessment of the entire lesion. Application of the technique is desirable for esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (SCNs), but there have been no ...

Multiple primary malignant neoplasms in patients with esophageal cancer

Diseases of the Esophagus, 2000
This study aims to elucidate the incidence and the therapeutic and prognostic implications of co-existent non-esophageal primary malignant neoplasms in patients with esophageal cancer. Between 1974 and 1997, 33 patients with esophageal cancer treated at the Nippon Medical School Hospital were documented as having multiple primary malignant neoplasms ...
