Achalasia Combined with Esophageal Cancer Treated by Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy
Achalasia is a rare neurological deficit of the esophagus that produces an impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and decreased motility of the esophageal body. Achalasia is generally accepted to be a pre-malignant disorder, since, particularly in the mega-esophagus, chronic irritation by foods and bacterial overgrowth may contribute to the development of dysplasia and carcinoma....
متن کاملLeukocytosis and neutrophilia predict outcome in locally advanced esophageal cancer treated with definitive chemoradiation
PURPOSE To investigate the prognostic value of leukocyte and neutrophil count as biomarkers in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) undergoing exclusive chemoradiation. RESULTS A total of 126 patients were identified. Respectively, 33% and 35% displayed baseline leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Estimated 3-year OS and PFS from chemoradiation completion were 31...
متن کاملObesity does not influence prostate intrafractional motion
INTRODUCTION Motion of the prostate is problematic in the accurate delivery of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for prostate cancer. This study investigated the relationship between body mass index (BMI), an easily measured indicator of obesity, and prostate motion. METHODS Prostate motion during EBRT was assessed by measuring the displacement of fiducial markers implanted within the pr...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of chemoradiation therapy compared with chemotherapy for esophageal carcinoma
Background:The role of the chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and chemotherapy (CT) in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma (EC) remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of CRT with CT in the treatment of EC patients. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane library were systematically reviewed for randomized controlled tri...
متن کاملRespiratory motion effect on tumor and normal tissue doses in patients with lung cancer, treated with Intensity Modulation Radiation Therapy and Three Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy.
Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of respiratory motion during radiation therapy in patient with lung cancer and comparison of dosimetric parameters between Intensity modulation radiation therapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in lung cancer. Materials and Methods: Two CT scan was performred for each pati...
