Neoadjuvant 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 Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The local management of stage III non-small cell lung cancer is controversial. Although definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is considered a standard-of-care in the curative management of the disease, inadequate local control outcomes have led to various treatment strategies that incorporate surgical resection. Surgery alone has long been recognized as insufficient for this stage, and thus neoadj...
متن کاملEffect of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy on pathologic stage and survival in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.
4032 Background: The strongest predictor of survival in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer treated with primary surgical resection is stage. This study aimed to determine if surgical stage after pre-operative chemoradiotherapy predicted a similar survival pattern. METHODS Patients (n=42) received cisplatin, 5-FU and radiotherapy (RT) followed by esophagectomy. Pre- and post-trea...
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...
متن کاملThe Effect of Neoadjuvant Therapy on Early Complications of Esophageal Cancer Surgery
Introduction: Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is required in esophageal cancer due to its invasive nature. The aim of this study was to evaluate early post-esophagectomy complications in patients with esophageal cancer who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACR). Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was carried out between 2009 and 2011. Patients with lower-th...
