Limited predictive value of FDG-PET for response assessment in the preoperative treatment of esophageal cancer : results of a prospective multi-center trial (SAKK 75/02) [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Only responding patients benefit from preoperative therapy for locally advanced esophageal carcinoma. Early detection of non-responders may avoid futile treatment and delayed surgery.

A Clinical Guidance for the Management of Patients With Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma and A Case Series
Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare extrahepatic tumor of non‐germ cell origin that morphologically resembles hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HAC has a propensity to metastasize to the liver and therefore may be mistaken for HCC. There is a lack of standardized treatment protocols, and further studies are needed to evaluate the benefit of ...

Early Phase of Achalasia Manifested as an Esophageal Subepithelial Tumor
The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019 The Chicago classification (CC) defines an esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) as the presence of several instances of intact or weak peristalsis, elevated median integrated relaxation pressure above 15 mmHg, and a discrepancy from the ...

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background In recent years, the incidence of early upper gastric cancer has increased, leading to a wider adoption of proximal gastrectomy (PG) as a possible treatment option. PG is preferred over total gastrectomy (TG) due to its superior postoperative nutritional status and improved surgical safety.

Inflammation and Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Chronic inflammation fuels tumorigenesis via “internal drivers” and “external attractions.” Targeting these core mechanisms with combined therapies/novel deliveries enables precise, potent anti‐inflammatory–antitumor treatment. ABSTRACT Inflammation is a core pathological factor regulating tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance, and ...

A standardized comparison of peri-operative complications after minimally invasive esophagectomy: Ivor Lewis versus McKeown. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: While our institutional approach to esophageal resection for cancer has traditionally favored a minimally invasive (MI) 3-hole, McKeown esophagectomy (MIE 3-hole) during the last five years several factors has determined a shift in our ...

Expression analysis of the TGF-β/SMAD target genes in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction
Open Medicine, 2016 The TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway is found to play pivotal roles in cell growth, differentiation and tumorigenesis. Its target genes are closely related to the biological behaviors of some malignancies.
