Clinical Prognostic Factors for Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma Treated after Definitive Chemoradiotherapy
PURPOSE Locally advanced esophageal cancers are generally treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by surgery in operable candidates. However, even if the patients were diagnosed as operable disease, surgery could not be performed on patients with poor condition or other comorbidity. In this case, definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is the other option for localized esophageal cance...
متن کاملExpression profiling of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy: clinical implications.
In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has a curative potential even in cases of locally advanced carcinoma. However, only about half of the patients benefit from CRT, and an accurate prediction of sensitivity to CRT is eagerly awaited. Using microarrays, we analyzed gene-expression patterns of pretreatment biopsy specimens from 33 patients with CRT alone includin...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for clinical stage II-III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The clinical significance of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) for potentially resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with clinical stage II-III ESCC were classified into an NACRT group (n=76) and surgery alone group (n=92). The prognosis and the incidence of postoperative complications were retrospectively investigated. T...
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 کاملInvolved-field irradiation in definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND Since there is high local failure and poor survival for unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the necessity of elective node irradiation is controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the failure patterns and survival in patients with locally advanced ESCC receiving involved-field irradiation (IFI). METHODS A retrospective study was preformed on th...
