Traditional Chinese medicines are sometimes used as an adjunct to radiotherapy or chemotherapy for esophageal cancer. These medicines may have a benefit on the survival and quality of life of patients who have advanced esophageal cancer. Evidence from current studies appears weak due to methodological limitations. Due to conflicting reports, it is difficult to argue for or against the use of tr...
Cerebellar, brainstem and spinal cord metastases from esophageal cancer following radiotherapy are extremely rare. The current study presents the case of a 74-year-old male who was admitted to the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital (Hangzhou, China) with a poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus. Following radiotherapy, multiple abnormal signals in the brainstem and spinal cord we...
This retrospective study investigated the effect of modifications presented in the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Manual for staging esophageal cancer on the characterization of the effectiveness of post-operative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, as measured by overall and disease-free survival. The seventh edition of the AJCC Manual classifies the number of l...
BACKGROUND Areas of Iran have among the highest incidences of esophageal cancer in the world. Definitive chemo-radiotherapy (DCRT) is used for locally advanced esophageal cancer and for inoperable tumors asan alternative to surgical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in North- West Iran 2006-2011, including 267 consecutive patients with non-metastatic esop...
Conformation radiotherapy is one of the best techniques for minimizing the radiation dose absorbed by the surrounding normal tissue while delivering a high dose to a cancerous target area. The cases of all patients who underwent external irradiation at Nagoya University Hospital from 1975 to 1992 were reviewed. A total of 5740 patients with 6179 lesions were irradiated during this time, and 379...
Esophageal self-expandable metal stents and radiotherapy are valuable in combination for palliation and definitive treatment of esophageal cancer. However, risk of aortoesophageal fistula is significant in patients with evidence of malignant aortic invasion. Use of thoracic endovascular repair may represent an approach to early intervention in high-risk patients.
XRCC3 is a promising target to improve the radiotherapy effect of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Radiotherapy is widely applied for treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The Rad51-related protein XRCC3 plays roles in the recombinational repair of DNA double-strand breaks to maintain chromosome stability and repair DNA damage. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of XRCC3 on the radiotherapy response of ESCC and the underlying mechanisms of the roles of XRCC3 ...
A 75-year-old man was referred to the Department of Ophthalmology at our hospital due to pain in his left eye. An ophthalmologic examination revealed a tumor on the surface of the left iris at 3 o’clock (Picture 1), suggesting a metastatic malignant disease. F-Fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) revealed abnormal uptake in the esophagus, liver, and lymph nodes as well as ...
BACKGROUND Esophageal dilation by rendezvous is a useful technique for the treatment of complicated esophageal strictures. METHODS AND RESULTS We present a case of a 74-year-old man with chronic dysphagia caused by a complete cervical esophageal stricture that developed after external beam radiotherapy for treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma. During attempted dilation using the rendezvou...
