Sentinel lymph node in esophageal cancer before neoadjuvant therapy.
UNLABELLED The technique of sentinel lymph node identification and biopsy has become a new popular technique for surgeon to improve staging of malignant diseases. It may also reduce the risk of complication related to standard lymphadenectomy. The method is still in experimental phase in case of esophageal cancer. A possible complication for employment of the method in this tumor is neoadjuvant...
متن کاملPredictive Factors and Value of ypN+ after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Clinically Lymph Node-Negative Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND Pathological complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been regarded as a surrogate endpoint for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with breast cancer. No consensus regarding the definition of pCR has been established; there are several definitions according to a variety of classifications. Eradication of cancer cells in both breas...
متن کاملWhat does absence of lymph node in resected specimen mean after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for rectal cancer
BACKGROUND The effect of insufficient node sampling in patients with rectal cancer managed by neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery has not been clearly determined. We evalulated the impact of insufficient sampling or even abscence of lymph nodes in the specimen on survival in patients at high-risk (T3, T4 or node positive) for rectal cancer. METHODS We conducted a single institution...

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is performed on carefully selected patients as part of a protocol-based clinical research program emphasizing the importance of multimodality management for patients with potentially resectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head. Treatment schemas emphasize the importance of minimizing toxicity and treatment duration, while attempting to improve therapeutic efficacy. ...
متن کاملResponse Evaluation after Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation by Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
PURPOSE Parameters of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) were compared with the results of histopathologic examination in order to determine which can provide an objective indication of response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for treatment of thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between August 2003 and January 2010, data on 25 patie...
