A randomized clinical trial of neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for cancer of the oesophagus or gastro-oesophageal junction

TL;DR: The addition of radiotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy results in higher histological complete response rate, higher R0 resection rate, and a lower frequency of lymph-node metastases, without significantly affecting survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of postoperative morbidity and perioperative mortality in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for resectable oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junctional cancers.

TL;DR: The long‐term survival benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal carcinoma are well established, however, both are burdened by toxicity that could contribute to perioperative morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Per-oral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia. Are results comparable to laparoscopic Heller myotomy?

TL;DR: POEM seems to be a safe and effective treatment option for achalasia in the short-term perspective; an effect well comparable to LHM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weak Evidence of Thyrotropin Receptors in Primary Cultures of Human Osteoblast-like Cells

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is unlikely that circulating TSH plays a physiological role for bone metabolism mediated through osteoblasts, given the low level of expression, specific binding and cAMP signaling.
