The role of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients with cancer
Cancer, 1976The last decade has seen considerable advance in the application of fiberoptic endoscopy to the diagnosis and management of patients with cancer. Forward and side-viewing instruments have been developed that have complete tip control, potential for obtaining directed biopsies, brush and lavage cytology, and for aspiration of material for assay of ...

Missed Diagnoses in Patients with Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers
Endoscopy, 2004A few studies have been published on cancers missed at previous endoscopy, but detailed analyses of the causes for failure were lacking. The aims of our study were to determine the incidence of and causes for failure to detect oesophageal and gastric cancers after referral of patients to a surgical endoscopy unit.Out of a consecutive series of 305 ...

Patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers
2006Abstract Patients who are suitable for radical surgery do substantially better than those who are not. This is complex surgery best done by a specialized team. Surgery remains the only potentially curative modality for tumours in the lower two-thirds of oesophagus. By contrast, surgery is usually not appropriate for patients with tumours

Laser Endoscopic Treatment for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers
Journal of Laparoendoscopic Surgery, 1991We report the effective clinical use of endoscopic laser in Japan using the results of a nationwide survey and our own experience with more than 100 cases. The Nd:YAG laser and argon dye laser with hematoporphyrin derivative (photodynamic therapy) were most commonly used in digestive endoscopy and were investigated as new modalities of cancer therapy ...

Paclitaxel and Concurrent Radiation in Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers
Cancer Investigation, 2003Effective locoregional treatments are needed for adenocarcinomas of the esophagus, stomach, and pancreas. Paclitaxel has been investigated as a radiation sensitizer for upper gastrointestinal malignancies. In esophageal cancer, the combination of low-dose weekly paclitaxel, platinum, and concurrent radiation therapy (RT) has substantial activity and is

Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers and the Role of Genetic Testing
Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North AmericaBeyond the few established hereditary cancer syndromes with an upper gastrointestinal cancer component, there is increasing recognition of the contribution of novel pathogenic germline variants (gPVs) to upper gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. The detection of gPVs has potential implications for novel treatment approaches of the index cancer patient as ...
