Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Field Lymphadenectomy for Carcinoma of the Esophagus and Gastroesophageal Junction in 174 R0 Resections: Impact on Staging, Disease-Free Survival, and Outcome: A Plea for Adaptation of TNM Classification in Upper-Half Esophageal Carcinoma
T. Lerut,P. Nafteux,Johnny Moons,W. Coosemans,Georges Decker,P. De Leyn,D. Van Raemdonck,N. Ectors +7 more
TL;DR: Esophagectomy with 3-field lymph node dissection can be performed with low mortality and acceptable morbidity and the prevalence of involved cervical nodes is high, regardless of the type and location of tumor resulting in a change of final staging specifically related to the cervical field in 12% of this series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative complications after transthoracic esophagectomy for cancer of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction are correlated with early cancer recurrence: role of systematic grading of complications using the modified Clavien classification.
Toni Lerut,Johnny Moons,Willy Coosemans,Dirk Van Raemdonck,Paul De Leyn,Herbert Decaluwé,Georges Decker,Philippe Nafteux +7 more
TL;DR: Modified Clavien classification, beside R1-status and EC LNI, appears to be a useful prognostic indicator of early recurrence and its timing in patients with cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining Benchmarks for Transthoracic Esophagectomy: A Multicenter Analysis of Total Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy in Low Risk Patients.
Henner Schmidt,S S Gisbertz,Johnny Moons,Ioannis Rouvelas,Juha Kauppi,Andrew M. Brown,Emanuele Asti,Misha D. P. Luyer,Sjoerd M. Lagarde,Felix Berlth,Annouck Philippron,Christiane Bruns,Arnulf H.

Nieuwenhuijzen,Bas P. L. Wijnhoven,Wolfgang Schröder,Piet Pattyn,Peter P. Grimminger,Christian A. Gutschow +28 more
TL;DR: This outcome analysis of patients with low comorbidity undergoing ttMIE may serve as a reference to evaluate surgical performance in major esophageal resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of Carbonic Anhydrase Ix (ca Ix), a Hypoxia-related Protein, Rather Than Vascular-endothelial Growth Factor (vegf), a Pro-angiogenic Factor, Correlates With an Extremely Poor Prognosis in Esophageal and Gastric Adenocarcinomas
Ann Driessen,Willy Landuyt,Sylvia Pastorekova,Johnny Moons,Laurence Goethals,Karin Haustermans,Philippe Nafteux,Freddy Penninckx,Karel Geboes,Toni Lerut,Nadine Ectors +10 more
TL;DR: The difference in expression of CA IX and VEGF between intestinal- and diffuse-type adenocarcinomas may possibly explain the different clinical behavior of these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major intraoperative complications during video-assisted thoracoscopic anatomical lung resections: an intention-to-treat analysis.
Herbert Decaluwé,René Horsleben Petersen,Henrik Hansen,Cezary Piwkowski,Florian Augustin,Alessandro Brunelli,Thomas Schmid,Kostas Papagiannopoulos,Johnny Moons,Dominique Gossot +9 more
TL;DR: Major intraoperative complications during VATS anatomical lung resections are infrequent, seem not to be related to surgical experience but have an important impact on patient outcome and constant awareness and a structured plan of action are of paramount importance.
