The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Gastric Cancer provide evidence- and consensus-based recommendations a multidisciplinary approach the management of patients with gastric cancer. For resectable locoregional cancer, guidelines recommend gastrectomy D1+ or modified D2 lymph node dissection (performed by experienced surgeons high-volume centers). Postoperative chemoradiation is preferred option after complete resection T3-T4 tumors node-positive T1-T2 tumors. chemotherapy...
Esophageal cancer is the sixth most common cause of deaths worldwide. Adenocarcinoma more in North America and Western European countries, originating mostly lower third esophagus, which often involves esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Recent randomized trials have shown that addition preoperative chemoradiation or perioperative chemotherapy to surgery significantly improves survival patients with resectable cancer. Targeted therapies trastuzumab ramucirumab produced encouraging results...
Overview Upper gastrointestinal tract cancers originating in the esophagus, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), and stomach constitute a major health problem around world. An estimated 37,640 new cases of 25,070 deaths from upper occurred United States 2010.1 A dramatic shift location tumors has States.2,3 Changes hisNCCN
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have many physiologic effects and are being used more commonly to treat postoperative pain, but recent small studies suggested that NSAIDs may impair anastomotic healing in the gastrointestinal tract.
The extraordinary demands of managing the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted world's ability to care for patients with thoracic malignancies. As a hospital's population increases and hospital resources are depleted, provide surgical is progressively restricted, forcing surgeons prioritize among their cancer populations. Representatives from multiple cancer, surgical, research organizations have come together guide triaging malignancies as impact evolves each hospital.
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis. Surgical providers have been forced to reconsider almost every facet of their daily clinical practice. Elective surgeries are canceled, and clinics scaled back drastically irrespective healthcare system or geographic boundary. trainees stand side-by-side with all members the team confront ever-changing demands pandemic. Although full magnitude remains be seen in North America, we cannot ignore impact this new evolving "normal" state on...
BACKGROUND American Indians/Alaskan Natives (AI/ANs) have the worst 5‐year cancer survival of all racial/ethnic groups in United States. Causes for this disparity are unknown. The authors report examined receipt treatment among AI/AN patients compared with white patients. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study 338,204 who were diagnosed at age ≥65 years breast, colon, lung, or prostate between 1996 and 2005 Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results‐Medicare database. Nationally accepted...
ABSTRACT Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) from latency is a frequent complication organ transplantation, and the molecular mechanism by which this occurs unknown. Previous studies have shown that allogeneic stimulation induces reactivation human CMV (HCMV) in vitro (64). We find transplantation vascularized kidneys murine (MCMV) HCMV immediate-early ( ie ) gene expression. This induction accompanied increased expression transcripts encoding inflammatory cytokines, including tumor...
BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials demonstrate the efficacy of arginine-enriched nutritional supplements (immunonutrition) in reducing complications after surgery. The effectiveness preoperative immunonutrition has not been evaluated a community setting. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine whether before elective colorectal surgery improves outcomes at large. DESIGN: is prospective cohort with propensity score–matched comparative evaluation. SETTINGS: was conducted Washington State...
