Tumor length in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Is it a prognostic factor?
BACKGROUND Several researchers have determined the tumor length to be an important prognostic indictor of esophageal cancer (EC). However, controversy exists concerning the optimal cut-off points for tumor length to predict overall survival. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of tumor length and propose the optimum cut-off point for tumor length in predicting survival d...
متن کاملImproved survival with higher radiation dose for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy
Purpose The optimal radiation dose for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has long been debated. We undertook the retrospective study to evaluate the survival impact of high dose vs standard dose in patients with stage II-III esophageal cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Results A total of 137 patients were included in our study, 63 patients classifie...
متن کاملTumor suppressor Prdx1 is a prognostic factor in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.
Peroxiredoxins (Prdxs) are a family of antioxidant enzymes that are also known as scavengers of peroxide in mammalian cells. Some reports have shown that the overexpression of Prdx1, which is one of the peroxiredoxins that is a ubiquitously expressed protein, was related to a poor prognosis in several types of human cancers. In this study, we investigated the expression levels of Prdx1 in esoph...
متن کاملDefinitive radiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND The role of contemporary radiotherapy (RT) has not yet been elucidated, mainly because of the low incidence of cervical esophageal cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcome in patients with cervical esophageal cancer treated with definitive RT. METHODS A total of 115 patients with cervical esophageal cancer treated with definitive RT during January 2001 through A...
متن کاملPrognostic factors, patterns of recurrence and toxicity for patients with esophageal cancer undergoing definitive radiotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of definitive chemo-radiation or radiotherapy alone in patients with esophageal cancer. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of n = 238 patients with squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the esophagus treated with definitive radiotherapy with or without concomitant chemotherapy at our institution between...
