Definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
PURPOSE Survival outcome of locally advanced pancreatic cancer has been poor and little is known about prognostic factors of the disease, especially in locally advanced cases treated with concurrent chemoradiation. This study was to analyze overall survival and prognostic factors of patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer. MATERIALS AND ...
متن کاملLocally advanced pancreatic cancer: the role of definitive chemoradiotherapy.
At the time of diagnosis, around 20% of patients with pancreatic cancer present at a resectable stage, 50% have metastatic disease and 30% have locally advanced tumour, non-metastatic but unresectable because of superior mesenteric artery or coeliac encasement. Despite advances in chemoradiotherapy and improved systemic chemotherapeutic agents, patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer s...
متن کاملSarcopenia is negatively associated with long‐term outcomes in locally advanced rectal cancer
BACKGROUND The association of sarcopenia and visceral obesity to treatment outcome is not clear for locally advanced rectal cancer. This study evaluates the influence of skeletal muscle and visceral fat on short-term and long-term outcomes in locally advanced rectal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy followed by curative resection. METHODS A total of 188 patients ...
متن کاملTreatment results of incomplete chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer
OBJECTIVE Regimens that combine chemotherapy and radiotherapy increase toxicity and compromise a patient's ability to adhere to the treatment plan. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a partially completed chemoradiation regimen prescribed for locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix. METHODS Medical records of 156 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer stage IIB-IVA who received ...
متن کاملConcurrent Chemoradiotherapy without Brachytherapy in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (EBRT + cisplatin) plus intracavitary brachytherapy is the standard of care in patients with advanced cervical cancer. However, a number of patients could not undergone brachytherapy due to massive residual tumor or anatomical distortion. In this study, we have evaluated the treatment outcome in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, undergone co...
