Prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in carcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: The studies point to promising markers with potential use for chemotherapy response prediction of adenocarcinomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract, but prospective studies for validation are necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum microRNA profiles as prognostic or predictive markers in the multimodality treatment of patients with gastric cancer.

TL;DR: A pilot study to characterize the serum microRNA (miRNA/miR) profile of gastric cancer patients undergoing multimodality therapy failed to identify a prognostic or predictive value in selected miRNAs using single RT-PCR measurements, however, microarray results revealed a differential microRNA expression profile depending on the histopathological regression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shared genetic etiology of obesity-related traits and Barrett's esophagus/adenocarcinoma: Insights from genome-wide association studies

TL;DR: Evidence for sex-specific genetic correlations that might reflect specific biological mecha-nisms is provided, demonstrating that shared genetic factors are particularly relevant in progression from BE to EA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neoadjuvante Therapie im oberen Gastrointestinaltrakt

TL;DR: Peri-operative chemotherapy significantly improves the survival of patients with adenocarcinoma of the stomach and of the gastro-esophageal junction and two randomized studies that have been performed in Europe have shown that multimodal treatment can improve the outcome in comparison to surgery alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Importance of PET in Surgery of Esophageal Cancer

TL;DR: Early response monitoring during preoperative chemotherapy has shown promising results in prospective single center trials (MUNICON I/II) during chemotherapy of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG), but needs to be validated in prospective multicenter trails.
