Clinical parameters model for predicting pathologic complete response following preoperative chemoradiation in patients with esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND Approximately 25% of patients with esophageal cancer (EC) who undergo preoperative chemoradiation, achieve a pathologic complete response (pathCR). We hypothesized that a model based on clinical parameters could predict pathCR with a high (≥60%) probability. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 322 patients with EC who underwent preoperative chemoradiation. All the patients had baselin...
متن کاملTumor response to induction chemoradiation: influence on survival after esophagectomy.
OBJECTIVE Preoperative chemoradiation is becoming standard of care for locally advanced esophageal cancer. The objective of this study was to determine if the degree of pathologic response to preoperative chemoradiation could predict survival and recurrence after resection in patients with adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus. METHODS Between January 1998 and December 2001, 366 patients und...
متن کاملMinimally invasive versus open esophagectomy for patients with esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) compared with open esophagectomy (OE) has been shown to have clinical advantages, but selection bias is present. METHODS All patients undergoing MIE or OE for cancer between 1999 and 2007 were eligible for analysis. To minimize selection bias, only patients who also met the selection criteria for the thoracoscopic approach were included in the...
متن کاملComparison of 5FU-base Chemoradiation with and without Eloxatin on Pathologic Complete Response in Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation of Rectal cancer
Background and Objectives: To compare pathologic complete response (pCR) in patients with advanced rectal cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACT) by 5-FU or Xeloda (capecitabine) with and without Eloxatin (oxaloplatin injection). Materials and Methods: Seventy-five consecutive patients with the diagnosis of advanced rectal adenocarcinoma were included. Two basic chemotherapy r...
متن کاملAssociation between clinical complete response and pathological complete response after preoperative chemoradiation in patients with gastroesophageal cancer: analysis in a large cohort.
BACKGROUND Chemoradiation followed by surgery is the preferred treatment of localized gastroesophageal cancer (GEC). Surgery causes considerable life-altering consequences and achievement of clinical complete response (clinCR; defined as postchemoradiation [but presurgery] endoscopic biopsy negative for cancer and positron emission tomographic (PET) scan showing physiologic uptake) is an entice...
