The effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on resectability of locally-advanced gastric adenocarcinoma: a clinical trial.
INTRODUCTION Surgical resection is the only curative treatment for gastric cancer. However, the overall prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma is poor and advanced disease may even make surgical treatment impossible. It has been theoretically proposed that administration of chemotherapy before surgical resection may down-stage the disease state and facilitate resectability especially in locally-ad...
متن کاملMicroRNAs as Indicators and Predictors of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammatory disorder, triggered by various factors. Several factors increase the risk of the development of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, including age, smoking, and chronic alcohol consumption. Predictors for cancer development are currently not available in the stage of chronic pancreatitis; and technical procedures such as endoscopic ultrasound or MRI scanning...
متن کاملPredictors for resectability and survival in locally advanced pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant therapy
BACKGROUND To evaluate the predictors for resectability and survival of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) treated with gemcitabine-based neoadjuvant therapy (GBNAT). METHODS Between May 2003 and Dec 2009, 41 tissue-proved LAPC were treated with GBNAT. The location of pancreatic cancer in the head, body and tail was 17, 18 and 6 patients respectively. The treatment respon...
متن کاملRadiologic resectability assessment in pancreatic cancer.
Complete tumor resection is still the only potentially curative therapy option for patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Surgical exploration is the gold standard for the determination of tumor resectability. Radiological resectability assessment is of great importance because many clearly unresectable cases can be identified preoperatively and it became essential for surgical pl...
متن کاملUtility of tumor markers in determining resectability of pancreatic cancer.
HYPOTHESIS Despite advances in preoperative radiologic imaging, a significant fraction of potentially resectable pancreatic cancers are found to be unresectable at laparotomy. We tested the hypothesis that preoperative serum levels of CA19-9 (cancer antigen) and carcinoembryonic antigen will identify patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer despite radiologic staging demonstrating resectabl...
