Towards risk-adapted perioperative treatment of gastroesophageal cancer

Perioperative chemotherapy versus surgery alone for resectable gastroesophageal cancer.

BACKGROUND A regimen of epirubicin, cisplatin, and infused fluorouracil (ECF) improves survival among patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma. We assessed whether the addition of a perioperative regimen of ECF to surgery improves outcomes among patients with potentially curable gastric cancer. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with resectable adenocar...

Promotion of self-management for post treatment cancer survivors: evaluation of a risk-adapted visit.

PURPOSE The LIFE Cancer Survivorship Program at NorthShore University HealthSystem provides risk-adapted visits (RAV) facilitated by an oncology nurse during which a survivorship care plan (SCP) is provided and discussed. In this report, we describe and evaluate RAV in promoting individualized health care and self-management during survivorship transition. METHODS Patients complete a post-RAV...

Perioperative therapy for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancer: current controversies and consensus of care

Gastroesophageal cancer (GEC) remains a challenging problem in oncology. Anatomically, GEC is comprised of distal gastric adenocarcinoma (GC), classically associated with Helicobacter Pylori, while proximal esophagogastric adenocarcinoma (EGJ AC) has increased significantly in incidence over the past years. Despite contrasting etiologies, histologies, and molecular phenotypes of distal and prox...
