Combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy compared with radiotherapy alone in patients with cancer of the esophagus.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1992
BACKGROUND The efficacy of conventional treatment with surgery and radiation for cancer of the esophagus is limited. The median survival is less than 10 months, and less than 10 percent of patients survive for 5 years.

Subcutaneous soft tissue metastases from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation: Case report and literature review

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant subtype of esophageal cancer in China and so differs from presentations in Western countries. Common metastatic locations of esophageal cancer include the liver, lung, bone, and brain.

Pathogenesis and Cells of Origin of Barrett's Esophagus.

Gastroenterology, 2019
In patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE), metaplastic columnar mucosa, containing epithelial cells with gastric and intestinal features, replaces esophageal squamous mucosa damaged by gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Alteration of the esophageal microbiota in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019
The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has increased in recent decades, and its 5-year survival rate is less than 20%. As a well-established precursor, patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) have a persistent risk of progression to EAC.

Targeted next generation sequencing identified clinically actionable mutations in patients with esophageal sarcomatoid carcinoma

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Esophageal sarcomatoid carcinoma (ESC) is a rare disease with a mixture of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components in the tumor. Its genetic background and mechanisms of oncogenesis remain largely unknown.

Peristaltic regimes in esophageal transport [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
A FLIP device gives cross-sectional area along the length of the esophagus and one pressure measurement, both as a function of time. Deducing mechanical properties of the esophagus including wall material properties, contraction strength, and wall relaxation from these data is a challenging inverse problem.

Learning Visual Representations with Optimum-Path Forest and its Applications to Barrett's Esophagus and Adenocarcinoma Diagnosis [PDF]

, 2021
In this work, we introduce the unsupervised Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier for learning visual dictionaries in the context of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and automatic adenocarcinoma diagnosis. The proposed approach was validated in two datasets (MICCAI 2015 and Augsburg) using three different feature extractors (SIFT, SURF, and the not yet applied ...

Is It Barrett's Esophagus or Gastric Heterotopia

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2014
Columnar epithelium in the distal part of the esophagus is generally related to Barrett's esophagus. Barrett's esophagus is a well-known premalignant lesion for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
