Abstract Background This study compared patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery in 20 hospitals of northern Italy 2019 versus 2020, order to evaluate whether COVID-19-related delays screening resulted more advanced cancers at diagnosis and worse clinical outcomes. Method was a retrospective multicentre cohort analysis March December 2020. Independent predictors disease stage (oncological stage, associated symptoms, T4 metastasis) outcome (surgical complications, palliative surgery,...
The effects of cancer surgery and treatment harm patients' life working ability: major causes this can be intensified by the postoperative symptoms. This study, first part HEAGIS project (Health Employment after Gastrointestinal Surgery), proposes a method to assess patients caregivers' competences in dealing with course related needs improve adequate competences. In observational an ad hoc structured interview was conducted 47 15 caregivers between third fifteenth day. Oesophageal (38%),...
There is a high postoperative morbidity rate after cancer surgery, that impairs patients’ self-management, job condition and economic strength. This paper describes the results of peculiar psychological intervention on patients undergoing surgery for esophageal, gastric colorectal cancer. The aimed to enhance competences in management daily life. A narrative approach (M.A.D.I.T.—Methodology Analysis Computerised Text Data) was used create questionnaire, Health Employment Gastro-Intestinal...
Oesophageal cancer, in particular adenocarcinoma, has a strong male predominance. However, the impact of patient sex on operative and oncologic outcomes recovery health-related quality life is poorly documented, was focus this large multicentre cohort study.
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is very frequent in gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) and it characterized by TP53 deletions/mutations resulting p53 nuclear accumulation, as revealed immunohistochemistry (IHC), which considers the cases with “high” staining levels to be positive. Aiming improve aberrant detection, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was used evaluate deletion formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded DNA (FFPE-DNA) cell-free (cfDNA). To further investigate mutational profile,...
<title>Abstract</title> Esophageal and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EADC-EGJA) prognosis is poor, Barrett’s esophagus has increased risk of developing tumor through the carcinogenesis process from metaplasia/low-grade dysplasia to high-grade (HGD). Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) considered a surrogate marker global methylation, an epigenetic event contributing progression. cfDNA 90 patients with never dysplastic (NDBE), HGD/early EADC-EGJA or locally...
Abstract Aim This study aims to create a tool for evaluation of patient ability deal with postoperative course after esophagectomy cancer. Background & Methods Esophagectomy requires be active and compliant face up impairments. Health related quality life (HRQoL) data in short medium-term surgery show that competences used by patients are not appropriate. Lack abilities manage influences recovery reduces HRQoL. Psychological analysis clinical needs was conducted identify peculiar...
Abstract Oesophagectomy is associated with high morbidity. One of the postoperative complication observed after esophageal resection Post Operative Delirium (POD), a psychiatric disease caused by major surgical stress and pharmacological treatments. POD can jeopardize patient healing-process since patients are not collaborative to perioperative care but also because they harm themselves. Thus aim this systematic review was identify factors its effective management in undergone oesophagectomy...
