Treatment of esophageal cancer with radiation therapy: a pan-Chinese survey of radiation oncologists
Lots of controversies were found about the treatment in relation to radiation therapy (RT) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We designed a questionnaire of these controversies to do a pan-Chinese survey of radiation oncologists (ROs). For operable ESCC, 53% ROs chose surgery plus postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT), while 40% chose preoperative CRT plus surgery. For target volume...
متن کاملOverview of Radiation Therapy for Treating Rectal Cancer
A major outcome of importance for rectal cancer is local control. Parallel to improvements in surgical technique, adjuvant therapy regimens have been tested in clinical trials in an effort to reduce the local recurrence rate. Nowadays, the local recurrence rate has been reduced because of both good surgical techniques and the addition of radiotherapy. Based on recent reports in the literature, ...
متن کاملPostoperative radiation therapy for rectal cancer combined with UFT/leucovorin.
Postoperative combined-modality therapy with fluorouracil (5-FU) and radiation therapy is accepted practice for high-risk rectal cancer. Postoperative pelvic radiotherapy alone may improve pelvic control, but is not associated with an improvement in survival. Protracted infusional 5-FU has been associated with decreased tumor recurrence and improved survival when combined with postoperative adj...
متن کاملRadiation therapy for rectal cancer: current status and future directions.
BACKGROUND Treatment for rectal cancer has evolved over the past 70 years from surgery alone to the selective use of trimodality therapy for high-risk patients. Radiotherapy (RT) has improved the potential for tumor downstaging, thus enhancing sphincter preservation and local control. METHODS This article reviews the evolution of strategies that incorporate pelvic RT, intraoperative RT, and h...
متن کاملShort Course Radiation in the Treatment of Localized Rectal cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis sets out to systematically assess the efficacy of short course radiation (SRT) for rectal cancer patients based on randomized, controlled trials. Eight randomized controlled trials involving 6894 patients were ultimately included in this meta-analysis. Three trials (n = 2574) compared SRT with surgery alone. Local recurrence was improved (HR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.58). Over...
