Journal ArticleDOI
ERCC1 mRNA levels complement thymidylate synthase mRNA levels in predicting response and survival for gastric cancer patients receiving combination cisplatin and fluorouracil chemotherapy.
Ralf Metzger,Cynthia G. Leichman,Kathleen D. Danenberg,Peter V. Danenberg,Heinz-Josef Lenz,K. Hayashi,Susan Groshen,Dennis Salonga,Hartley Cohen,Loren Laine,Peter F. Crookes,Howard Silberman,Joaquina Baranda,Brahma Konda,Lawrence Leichman +14 more
TL;DR: Either ERCC1 or TS mRNA levels in a primary gastric adenocarcinoma has a statistically significant relationship to response; in this cohort TS RNA levels did not reach statistically significant association with survival as in the previous publication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic repair of large type III hiatal hernia: objective followup reveals high recurrence rate.
Majid Hashemi,Jeffrey H. Peters,Tom R. DeMeester,James E. Huprich,Marcus L. Quek,Jeffrey A. Hagen,Peter F. Crookes,Jörg Theisen,Steven R. DeMeester,Lelan F. Sillin,Cedric G. Bremner +10 more
TL;DR: Laroscopic repair of type III hiatal hernias is associated with a disturbingly high (42%) prevalence of recurrent hernia and more than half such recurrences have few, if any, symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thymidylate synthase mRNA level in adenocarcinoma of the stomach: a predictor for primary tumor response and overall survival.
Heinz-Josef Lenz,Cynthia G. Leichman,Kathleen D. Danenberg,Peter V. Danenberg,Susan Groshen,Hartley Cohen,Loren Laine,Peter F. Crookes,Howard Silberman,Joaquina Baranda,Yolee Garcia,James Li,Lawrence Leichman +12 more
TL;DR: The genetic expression of TS (TSmRNA level) influences response to 5FU-based chemotherapy and survival for a cohort of patients with primary gastric cancer, and could lead to therapeutic decisions based on specific molecular properties within a tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate analysis of factors predicting outcome after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
Guilherme M. Campos,Jeffrey H. Peters,Tom R. DeMeester,Stefan Öberg,Peter F. Crookes,Silvia Tan,Steven R. DeMeester,Jeffrey A. Hagen,Cedric G. Bremner +8 more
TL;DR: 24-hour pH monitoring provides the strongest outcome predictor of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and that outcome is based more on the correct identification of the disease than on its severity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation and specialized intestinal metaplasia of cardiac mucosa is a manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Stefan Öberg,Jeffrey H. Peters,Tom R. DeMeester,Para Chandrasoma,Jeffrey A. Hagen,Adrian P. Ireland,Manfred P. Ritter,Rodney J. Mason,Peter F. Crookes,Cedric G. Bremner +9 more
TL;DR: The findings of cardiac mucosa, carditis, and intestinal metaplasia in an endoscopically normal-appearing gastroesophageal junction are histologic indicators of gastroeastern reflux disease and contribute to the authors understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease process.
