Individualised surgical treatment of patients with an adenocarcinoma of the distal oesophagus or gastro-oesophageal junction.
In this review we discuss the different strategies to improve surgical outcomes after potentially curative resection for oesophageal adenocarcinoma. For tumours of the distal oesophagus, there is a 17% survival benefit after transthoracic resection with two-field lymph node dissection when compared with transhiatal resection. This survival benefit is absent for tumours of the gastro-oesophageal...
متن کاملOutcome of neoadjuvant therapies for cancer of the oesophagus or gastro-oesophageal junction based on a national data registry.
BACKGROUND Randomized trials have shown that neoadjuvant treatment improves survival in the curative treatment of oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer. Results from population-based observational studies are, however, sparse and ambiguous. METHODS This prospective population-based cohort study included all patients who had oesophagectomy for cancer in Sweden, excluding clinical ...
متن کاملIntestinal metaplasia at the gastro-oesophageal junction: Helicobacter pylori gastritis or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease?
BACKGROUND Intestinal metaplasia, whether in the cardia or the distal oesophagus, has been uniformly defined as specialised columnar epithelium, suggesting a relation with Barrett's oesophagus. It is, however, not clear whether the risk factors associated with intestinal metaplasia are identical at both sites. AIMS To investigate biopsy specimens obtained below the squamocolumnar junction (SC...
متن کاملEmerging aspects of oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer histopathology – an update for the surgical oncologist
Adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction are rapidly increasing in incidence and have a well described sequence of carcinogenesis: the Barrett's metaplasia-dysplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence. During recent years there have been changes in the knowledge surrounding disease progression, cancer management and histopathology specimen reporting. Tumours around the gastro-oesop...
متن کاملPeri-operative chemotherapy in patients with oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer - three years of experience.
Peri-operative chemotherapy has been found to benefit patients with oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. This study's aim was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of this treatment. The study included patients with carcinoma of the lower oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction in whom the disease was evaluated as potentially operable. Chemotherapy (CHT) consisted of ...
