The value of metabolic imaging to predict tumour response after chemoradiation in locally advanced rectal cancer
BACKGROUND We aim to investigate the possibility of using 18F-positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET-CT) to predict the histopathologic response in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with preoperative chemoradiation (CRT). METHODS The study included 50 patients with LARC treated with preoperative CRT. All patients were evaluated by PET-CT before and after CRT, and re...
متن کاملInduction chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiation and surgery for Pancoast tumour.
The traditional treatment of Pancoast tumour with local approaches (surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of both) leads to a poor outcome due to the high rate of incomplete resection and the lack of systemic control. The aim of the present prospective feasibility study was to determine whether a trimodality approach improves local control and survival. Patients with stage IIB-IIIB Pancoast tu...
متن کاملPredicting the response of localised oesophageal cancer to neo-adjuvant chemoradiation
BACKGROUND A complete pathological response to neo-adjuvant chemo-radiation for oesophageal cancer is associated with favourable survival. However, such a benefit is seen in the minority. If one could identify, at diagnosis, those patients who were unlikely to respond unnecessary toxicity could be avoided and alternative treatment can be considered. The aim of this review was to highlight predi...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant treatment for advanced esophageal cancer: response assessment before surgery and how to predict response to chemoradiation before starting treatment.
Patients with advanced esophageal cancer (T3-4, N) have a poor prognosis. Chemoradiation or chemotherapy before esophagectomy with adequate lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment for patients with resectable advanced esophageal carcinoma. However, only patients with major histopathologic response (regression to less than 10% of the primary tumor) after preoperative treatment will have a prog...
متن کاملTumor response to induction chemoradiation: influence on survival after esophagectomy.
OBJECTIVE Preoperative chemoradiation is becoming standard of care for locally advanced esophageal cancer. The objective of this study was to determine if the degree of pathologic response to preoperative chemoradiation could predict survival and recurrence after resection in patients with adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus. METHODS Between January 1998 and December 2001, 366 patients und...
