Prognostic factors for salvage endoscopic resection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic resection is one treatment option for residual or locally recurrent esophageal cancer after definitive chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone. However, little is known about the clinical benefit of salvage endoscopic resection for these lesions. Therefore, the effectiveness and prognostic factors of salvage endoscopic resection were investigated. PATIENTS...
متن کاملSalvage Photodynamic Therapy Is an Effective and Safe Treatment for Patients with Local Failure after Definitive Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Although chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is one curative treatment option for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), local failure after CRT remains a major problem for patients’ curability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a salvage treatment for local failure. From August 2007 to March 2012, 193 consecutive ESCC patients ...
متن کاملClinical Prognostic Factors for Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma Treated after Definitive Chemoradiotherapy
PURPOSE Locally advanced esophageal cancers are generally treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, followed by surgery in operable candidates. However, even if the patients were diagnosed as operable disease, surgery could not be performed on patients with poor condition or other comorbidity. In this case, definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is the other option for localized esophageal cance...
متن کاملImproved survival with higher radiation dose for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy
Purpose The optimal radiation dose for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has long been debated. We undertook the retrospective study to evaluate the survival impact of high dose vs standard dose in patients with stage II-III esophageal cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Results A total of 137 patients were included in our study, 63 patients classifie...
متن کاملInvolved-field irradiation in definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND Since there is high local failure and poor survival for unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), the necessity of elective node irradiation is controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the failure patterns and survival in patients with locally advanced ESCC receiving involved-field irradiation (IFI). METHODS A retrospective study was preformed on th...
