Journal ArticleDOI

Application of the revised lung cancer staging system (IASLC Staging Project) to a cancer center population.

TL;DR: The proposed IASLC staging system is more effective at differentiating stage than the UICC-6 system and will shift some patients from a stage previously considered unresectable to a stage frequently offered surgical resection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Omental reinforcement of the thoracic esophagogastric anastomosis: An analysis of leak and reintervention rates in patients undergoing planned and salvage esophagectomy

TL;DR: Thoracic transposition of an omental flap along with the gastric conduit may decrease leak incidence, severity, or need for reoperations after esophagectomy, and pedicled omental transposition is recommended to reinforce all thoracic anastomoses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of lymphokine-activated killer cytotoxicity with interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor-α against primary lung cancer targets

TL;DR: The synergy of IL-2 and TNF for generating LAK%; the lysis of fresh primary lung cancer cells by LAK; and the sequence dependence of IL/TNF for the induction of optimal LAK activity are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery for esophageal adenocarcinoma: Significance of microscopically positive circumferential radial margins

TL;DR: Resections of locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma with residual transmural viable tumor after CRT frequently showed involvement of the radial margin with tumor either close to or at the margin, but no significant decrease in overall or disease-free survival or increase in local recurrence was seen.
