TS gene tandem repeats in esophageal cancer patients receiving chemoradiotherapy.
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) interferes with tumor-cell proliferation by inhibiting thymidylate synthase (TS). We examined the relationship between tandem repeat (TR) variations in the TS gene and survival following concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). TS-TR variations were analyzed in 57 stage II-IV ESCC patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy combine...

PRESENTATION OF CASE A 64-year-old man with lower intrathoracic esophageal cancer received chemoradiotherapy, and a complete response was achieved. Subsequently, however, lymph node rel...
متن کاملTreatment outcomes of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer
PURPOSE To evaluate treatment outcomes and determine prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer treated with esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 39 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy between 2002 and 2012. Initial clinical stages of patients wer...
متن کاملTreatment outcomes of definitive chemoradiotherapy for patients with hypopharyngeal cancer
We analyzed the efficacy of definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC). Subjects comprised 97 patients who were treated with definitive CRT from 1990 to 2006. Sixty-one patients (62.9%) with resectable disease who aimed to preserve the larynx received induction chemotherapy (ICT), whereas 36 patients (37.1%) with resectable disease who refused an operation ...
