OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and therapeutic effects of nimotuzumab (h-R3) combined with radiotherapy in esophageal cancer. METHODS This Phase II clinical trial involved 42 patients with stage II (inoperable or refused surgery) to stage IV (supraclavicular lymph node metastasis only) esophageal cancers treated between November 2008 and July 2010. All patients had squamous cell carcinomas...
BACKGROUND While esophageal fistula formation in the adjacent organs is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, the management of non-aortic arterio-esophageal fistula has not been frequently reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 69-year-old Japanese man who had undergone definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer was admitted to our hospital with hematemesis. He was diagnosed ...
The role of nursing care is especially significant for patients receiving radiation therapy for esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer, including cancer arising from the gastro-esophageal junction, is a challenging disease worldwide. Recently statistics indicated that the crude incidence of esophageal cancer ranked fifth in all cancer sites with rate of 22.14/100,000 in Chinese population [1]. Ra...
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate treatment efficacy and side effects of concomitant Aisu® (docetaxel) with three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy for the treatment of inoperable patients with esophageal cancer. METHODS Inoperable patients were treated with three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy (5/week, 2 GY/day, and total dose 60GY) plus doceta...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer is a highly lethal malignancy. Esophageal resection remains the primary treatment in most centers. A number of approaches to esophageal resection have been described. METHODS: The authors review the current approaches to esophageal resection and adjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer. RESULTS: Transthoracic, transhiatal, and minimally invasive techniques are curren...
BACKGROUND Carcinoma of the esophagus is an aggressive malignancy with an increasing incidence. Its virulence, in terms of symptoms and mortality, justifies a continued search for optimal therapy. The large and growing number of patients affected, the high mortality rates, the worldwide geographic variation in practice, and the large body of good quality research warrants a systematic review wi...
Verruciform xanthoma (VX) is an uncommon benign lesion of unclear etiology which has only been reported twice before in the esophagus. We describe a 70-year-old male who presented an exophytic esophageal lesion incidentally found upon endoscopy 2.7 years following radiation therapy for unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of the tracheal carina. Histologically, the lesion showed a papillary sur...
The intention of this research was to define the predictive factors for acute esophagitis (AE) in lung cancer patients treated with concurrent chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. The data for 72 lung cancer patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy between 2008 and 2010 were prospectively evaluated. Mean lung dose, mean dose of esophagus, volume of esophagus irra...
Esophageal cancer is one of most common malignancies. Cancer stem cells (CSC) are considered to be resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which might be associated with the recurrence of the tumor after treatment. To find the therapeutic procedures targeting CSCs, the different methods have been used to identify the esophageal CSC-related genes and surface markers. The esophageal CSCs were...
BACKGROUND The management of limited-disease esophageal small cell carcinoma is not well defined, and the role of surgery is still controversial. We aim to determine the optimal treatment strategy in limited-disease of esophageal small cell carcinoma. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a retrospective review of 141 patients with limited-disease esophageal small cell carcinoma from 3 institutio...
