Wait-and-See Policy for Clinical Complete Responders After Chemoradiation for Rectal Cancer
Monique Maas,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Doenja M. J. Lambregts,Guido Lammering,Patty J. Nelemans,Sanne M. E. Engelen,Ronald M. van Dam,Rob L. H. Jansen,Meindert N. Sosef,Jeroen W. A. Leijtens,Karel W.E. Hulsewé,Jeroen Buijsen,Geerard L. Beets +12 more
TL;DR: A wait-and-see policy with strict selection criteria, up-to-date imaging techniques, and follow-up is feasible and results in promising outcome at least as good as that of patients with a pCR after surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional compromise reflected by sarcopenia, frailty, and nutritional depletion predicts adverse postoperative outcome after colorectal cancer surgery.
Kostan W. Reisinger,Jeroen L.A. van Vugt,Juul J.W. Tegels,Claire Snijders,Karel W.E. Hulsewé,A.G.M. Hoofwijk,Jan H.M.B. Stoot,Maarten F. von Meyenfeldt,Geerard L. Beets,Joep P. M. Derikx,Martijn Poeze +10 more
TL;DR: Functional compromise in colorectal cancer surgery is associated with adverse postoperative outcome and assessment of functional compromise by means of a nutritional questionnaire, a frailty questionnaire, and sarcopenia measurement can accurately predict postoperative sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Clinical Complete Response After Chemoradiation for Rectal Cancer with Digital Rectal Examination, Endoscopy, and MRI: Selection for Organ-Saving Treatment.
Monique Maas,Doenja M. J. Lambregts,Patty J. Nelemans,Luc A. Heijnen,Milou H. Martens,Jeroen W. A. Leijtens,Meindert N. Sosef,Karel W.E. Hulsewé,Christiaan Hoff,Stephanie O. Breukink,Laurents P. S. Stassen,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Geerard L. Beets +12 more
TL;DR: Clinical assessment afterCRT is the single most accurate modality for identification of CR after CRT, and addition of MRI with DWI further improves the diagnostic performance, and the combination can be recommended as the optimal strategy for a safe and accurate selection of CRafter CRT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer but not associated with worse outcomes
Juul J.W. Tegels,Jeroen L.A. van Vugt,Kostan W. Reisinger,Karel W.E. Hulsewé,A.G.M. Hoofwijk,Joep P. M. Derikx,Jan H.M.B. Stoot +6 more
TL;DR: Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia and body composition in gastric cancer surgical patients and its association with adverse postoperative outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast MRI in clinically and mammographically occult breast cancer presenting with an axillary metastasis: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Breast MRI can result in additional detection of otherwise occult lesions in occult breast cancer because of low specificity of malignant lesion detection by breast MRI, lesions should be histologically confirmed.
