NF-kappaB activation in esophageal adenocarcinoma: relationship to Barrett's metaplasia, survival, and response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
OBJECTIVE To examine the expression of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) in Barrett's epithelium and adenocarcinoma and the impact of NF-kappaB expression on tumor stage and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Progression of Barrett's esophagus to adenocarcinoma is associated with a wide range of cellular and molecular ...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer: is it worthwhile?
BACKGROUND With promising results from several institutions, many centers began treating patients with esophageal cancer with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NC) followed by esophagectomy. This approach is demanding for the patient and has not been proved to be better than esophagectomy alone. OBJECTIVE To assess survival time and measures of quality of life associated with NC. DESIGN A retr...
متن کاملNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resectable esophageal carcinoma: a meta-analysis.
AIM To compare neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery with surgery alone for resectable esophageal carcinoma. METHODS We used MEDLINE and EMBASE databases to identify eligible studies and manual searches were done to ensure no studies were missed. Trial validity assessment was performed and a trial quality score was assigned. RESULTS Eleven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including 1...
متن کاملRole of Repeat 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Examination in Predicting Pathologic Response Following Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma.
IMPORTANCE Predicting complete pathologic response (CPR) preoperatively can significantly affect surgical decision making. There are conflicting data regarding positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET CT) characteristics and the ability of PET CT to predict pathologic response following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinoma because most existing studies that in...
متن کاملOptimal timing of computed tomography for assessing lymph nodes after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer
Background: This study assessed the optimal timing of computed tomography for detection of metastatic disease in locoregional lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer who have undergone chemoradiotherapy. Materials and Methods: This observational retrospective study was performed in a single institution. All patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy, followed...
