Multimodality therapy is recommended for limited-stage combined small cell esophageal carcinoma
BACKGROUND AND AIM Limited-stage combined small cell esophageal carcinoma (LS-C-SCEC) is a rare, poorly understood, underdiagnosed disease, with components of both small cell esophageal cancer and non-small cell esophageal cancer. We investigated the optimal treatment strategy and prognostic factors in patients with LS-C-SCEC. PATIENTS AND METHODS LS-C-SCEC patients included in the analysis (...
متن کاملCombined chemoradiation therapy for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer.
After nearly 4 decades of use in treating small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), thoracic radiation has become integral to the management of limited-stage disease. Many prospective randomized trials have demonstrated that adding thoracic radiation therapy to chemotherapy improves locoregional control and survival at 3 and 5 years. This has resulted in a greater appreciation of the role of thoracic radi...
متن کاملInnovations in multimodality therapy for lung cancer. Combined modality management of limited small-cell lung cancer.
Recent approaches to the treatment of limited small-cell lung cancer have combined local radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy in an attempt to improve local control and inhibit distant metastases. Local control is a key indicator of the efficacy of radiotherapy administration in combined-modality regimens. However, even in combined-modality trials using high total radiotherapy doses, local fa...
متن کاملMultimodality Therapy for Esophageal Cancer.
Adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapeutic principles have in recent years received increasing attention in the management of patients with esophageal cancer. A series of randomized prospective trials has convincingly demonstrated that adjuvant postoperative radiation or chemotherapy does not result in a survival advantage after a complete tumor resection. The available data on the role of neoadjuvan...

Recent developments in the epidemiology, staging, and treatment of esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancers have led to significant changes in the way these malignancies are managed. Although a relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal cancer has been demonstrated, antireflux surgery has been shown to have no preventive effect with regard to the development of ...
