Chemotherapy of Gastrointestinal Malignancies.
Beginning with esophageal cancer of both the adeno and squamous variety, it would appear that combined modality therapy is here to stay. Most cancer programs now advocate chemotherapy, usually cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil together with radiation therapy, prior to definitive esophagectomy for localized disease. An exciting advance is the discovery of the activity of paclitaxel in this setting, a...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for gastrointestinal malignancies.
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are the most common human tumors encountered worldwide. The majority of GI cancers are unresectable at the time of diagnosis, and in the subset of patients undergoing resection, few are cured. There is only a modest improvement in survival with the addition of modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Due to an increasing global cancer burde...
متن کاملEndoscopic Molecular Imaging in Gastrointestinal Oncology
Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been widely used for detection, differentiation and staging for neoplasia in the digestive tract, and has made great progress during the last decade (Sivak, 2006). Diagnostic accuracy can be enhanced by better training, more efficient techniques, and the development of new image-processing technologies (Cotton et al., 2006; Tajiri, 2007); however, diagnosis u...
متن کاملOptical molecular imaging in the gastrointestinal tract.
Recent developments in optical molecular imaging allow for real-time identification of morphologic and biochemical changes in tissue associated with gastrointestinal neoplasia. This review summarizes widefield and high-resolution imaging modalities in preclinical and clinical evaluation for the detection of colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer. Widefield techniques discussed include high-def...
