Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal cancer (preSANO): a prospective multicentre, diagnostic cohort study.

TL;DR: The correlation between clinical response during clinical response evaluations and the final pathological response in resection specimens was shown, as shown by the proportion of tumour regression grade (TRG) 3 or 4 residual tumours that was missed duringclinical response evaluations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved Outcomes for Responders After Treatment with Induction Chemotherapy and Chemo(re)irradiation for Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer.

TL;DR: Induction chemotherapy in addition to neoadjuvant chemo(re)irradiation is a promising treatment strategy for patients with LRRC with high pathologic response rates that translate into improved oncological outcomes, especially when an R0 resection has been achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surveillance of Clinically Complete Responders Using Serial 18F-FDG PET/CT Scans in Patients with Esophageal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy.

TL;DR: Serial 18F-FDG PET/CT scans for detecting local recurrence in patients beyond 3 mo after nCRT might be a useful tool for detecting tumor recurrence during active surveillance, suggesting that radiation-induced esophagitis had mostly resolved by that time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic positron emission tomography/CT response after induction chemotherapy and chemo(re)irradiation is associated with higher negative resection margin rate in patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer.

TL;DR: In this article, the correlation between the PET/CT response and final histopathological outcomes was analyzed, and the overall accuracy between PET score and pathological TRG was 45%, and the positive predictive value for CMR was 63%.
