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

Annals 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

Annals 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.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy for lung cancer is associated with a lower 30-day morbidity compared with lobectomy by thoracotomy.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2016
OBJECTIVES Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Survival is highly dependent on surgery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is increasingly chosen over open thoracotomy (OT) because of the possible benefits of

Clinical and Economic Insights Into Surgery for Colonic Diverticular Perforation: A Long‐Term Observational Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The sigmoid colon was the most common perforation site among patients with colonic diverticular perforation. The patients' conditions, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization cost were significantly worse in left‐sided colon diverticular perforation than in right‐sided colon diverticular perforation. The clinical characteristics differed according

Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery versus thoracotomy for c-N2 stage NSCLC: short-term outcomes of a randomized trial.

Translational Lung Cancer Research, 2019
Background Safety and short-term efficacy of robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been previously proven; however, RATS for N2 stage NSCLC was barely evaluated.

Long‐Term Survival of Two Versus Three Courses of Preoperative Cisplatin and Fluorouracil Plus Docetaxel for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer: A Multicenter Randomized Phase II Trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multi‐institutional, randomized, phase II trial aimed to investigate the long‐term survival outcomes of two versus three courses of DCF for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The 5‐year overall survival and progression‐free survival rates for the three and two course groups were 70.7% vs. 63.8% (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.91, p
