Puya Gharahkhani, +70 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies doubled the number of known risk loci for Barrett's oesophagus and oesphageal adenocarcinoma and revealed new insights into causes of these diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methyltransferase 1 as a predictive biomarker and potential therapeutic target for chemotherapy in gastric cancer

TL;DR: In vitro data support a functional relationship between DNMT1 and cisplatin sensitivity andDNMT1 may represent a promising target for alternative therapeutic strategies for a subset of GC patients with better outcomes following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic significance of histopathological tumor regression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinomas.

TL;DR: The effect of preoperative chemotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinomas can be assessed by the determination of histological tumor regression, providing highly valuable prognostic information, which may even exceed the prognostic impact of the current TNM classification of these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of histopathological regression in 850 neoadjuvantly treated oesophagogastric adenocarcinomas.

TL;DR: Only established prognostic Factors like ypTNM stage, R category, and complications were identified as independent prognostic factors in resected patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in contrast to histopathological tumour regression, which was not found as anindependent prognostic marker.
