TL;DR: Standardized methods provide contemporary international benchmarks for reporting outcomes after esophagectomy, using a standardized dataset with specific definitions to prospectively collect international data to provide a benchmark for complications and outcomes associated with esphagectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative complications after transthoracic esophagectomy for cancer of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction are correlated with early cancer recurrence: role of systematic grading of complications using the modified Clavien classification.

TL;DR: Modified Clavien classification, beside R1-status and EC LNI, appears to be a useful prognostic indicator of early recurrence and its timing in patients with cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective Comparative Study of Integrated Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography Scan Compared With Remediastinoscopy in the Assessment of Residual Mediastinal Lymph Node Disease After Induction Chemotherapy for Mediastinoscopy-Proven Stage IIIA-N2 Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Leuven Lung Cancer Group Study

TL;DR: Integrated PET-CT yielded a better result than that obtained in previous studies with side-by-side PET and CT images, but postinduction remediastinoscopy had a disappointing sensitivity because of adhesions and fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung Donor Selection and Management
Dirk Van Raemdonck,Arne Neyrinck,Geert Verleden,Lieven Dupont,Willy Coosemans,Herbert Decaluwé,Georges Decker,Paul De Leyn,Philippe Nafteux,Toni Lerut +9 more
TL;DR: The current evidence from the literature is updated to identify and select potential lung donors and to manage cadaveric donors to maximally increase the organ yield for lung transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
