Prognostic factors for patients with esophageal cancer who achieve pathological complete response in the primary tumor after upfront chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Male gender and pathological lymph node metastasis are independent poor prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer who receive upfront treatment followed by surgery and achieved pathological complete response of the primary tumor. Among patients without pathological lymph node metastasis, the upfront chemotherapy group showed significantly ...

Perioperative outcomes of esophagectomy after doublet versus docetaxel‐based triplet neoadjuvant chemotherapy in older patients: A nationwide inpatient database study in Japan

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this nationwide inpatient database study of 5229 patients aged 70–79 years who underwent esophagectomy for cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, overlap propensity score weighting analysis showed that neoadjuvant docetaxel‐based triplet regimen (docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5‐fluorouracil) was not associated with a higher incidence of perioperative ...

Clinical role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma concomitant with occult peritoneal dissemination: A multicenter retrospective study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The effectiveness of intraperitoneal chemotherapy using paclitaxel (i.p.‐PTX) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with peritoneal dissemination remains elusive. This study indicated that the i.p.‐PTX therapy may improve survival in selected patients with PDAC, in particular those with occult peritoneal dissemination.

Phase II trial of preoperative radiochemotherapy with concurrent bevacizumab, capecitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Preoperative radiochemotherapy (RCT) with 5-FU or capecitabine is the standard of care for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Preoperative RCT achieves pathological complete response rates (pCR) of 10-15%.

Salvage esophagectomy for unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Significant or not?

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract We reviewed the current status and perspectives on salvage esophagectomy for initially unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the era of minimally invasive surgery and immunotherapy. Although the standard treatment for these patients is definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT), the complete response rate to CRT ...

Single-strand selective monofunctional uracil-DNA glycosylase (SMUG1) deficiency is linked to aggressive breast cancer and predicts response to adjuvant therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Uracil in DNA is an important cause of mutagenesis. SMUG1 is a uracil DNA glycosylase that removes uracil through base excision repair. SMUG1 also processes radiation induced oxidative base damage as well as 5-fluorouracil incorporated into DNA during

Does surgical intervention contribute to survival for patients with para‐aortic lymph node metastasis from colorectal cancer?

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Overall survival of patients who underwent surgical resection was significantly better compared to that of patients who underwent chemotherapy without surgical resection. These results highlight the benefit of surgical intervention to survival for patients with isolated para‐aortic lymph node metastasis or with resectable liver metastasis.

Interventions for the treatment of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer:chemotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
<b>Background:</b> Oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers are frequently described as part of a group of oral cancers or head and neck cancer. Treatment of oral cavity cancer is generally surgery followed by radiotherapy, whereas oropharyngeal

Prognostic Impact of Bone Mineral Density Reduction During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) in Patients Undergoing NAC Followed by Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The association between BMD reduction during NAC and the worse prognosis remains unknown, although NAC followed by esophagectomy is a standard treatment for advanced ESCC. This study appeared that BMD massive reduction was an independent prognostic factor on OS (HR, 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69–6.55) and RFS (HR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.19–3.63 ...

Survival Outcomes of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Who Underwent Salvage Esophagectomy: A Literature Review and Results From Two High‐Volume Centers

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate survival outcomes, the efficacy of lymph node (LN) dissection, and recurrence patterns in 69 patients who underwent R0 salvage surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Of note, abdominal LN metastases had a negative impact on survival in our series.
