TL;DR: The preliminary data, using intraoperative radiation techniques and the gamma probe, suggest that it is worthwhile to continue the evaluation of this procedure to determine its role in an accurate staging and a minimally invasive approach to GI cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Curative Laparoscopic Surgery for Early Gastric Cancer: Five Years Experience
TL;DR: In this paper, two different laparoscopic surgical techniques for early gastric cancer were applied to 111 patients and have successfully treated 111 patients since March 1992, and all patients have survived for 3 to 96 months, and there has been no trocar site recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yoshihide Otani,Toshiharu Furukawa,Masashi Yoshida,Yoshiro Saikawa,Norihito Wada,Masakazu Ueda,Tetsuro Kubota,Makio Mukai,Kaori Kameyama,Yoshinori Sugino,Koichiro Kumai,Masaki Kitajima +11 more
TL;DR: This study provides additional evidence suggesting that the early removal of GIST, at 5 cm or less in size, provides better DFS than later removal of the tumor at a larger size.
Journal Article
Clinical applications of the histoculture drug response assay
TL;DR: The HDRA with the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide end point should be of clinical value to choose optimal chemotherapy for response as well as for survival.
