Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of nutritional support on the immune function in the acute postoperative period after esophageal cancer surgery: total parenteral nutrition versus enteral nutrition
Junichi Seike,Akira Tangoku,Yasuhiro Yuasa,Hiroshi Okitsu,Yukikiyo Kawakami,Masayuki Sumitomo +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that perioperative nutritional support can be safely performed either with TPN or EN, and no differences in immune function, nutritional state, or inflammatory response were seen between patients supported withTPN and those supported with EN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection after computed tomography-guided bronchoscopic metallic coil marking for small peripheral pulmonary lesions
Hiroaki Toba,Kazuya Kondo,Takanori Miyoshi,Koichiro Kajiura,Mitsuteru Yoshida,Yukikiyo Kawakami,Hiromitsu Takizawa,Koichiro Kenzaki,Shoji Sakiyama,Akira Tangoku +9 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the advantages of the fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection after computed tomography (CT)-guided bronchoscopic metallic coil marking (FATS-CM) were safety, permitting flexibility in scheduling operations and a high ability to deal with multiple lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography is useful in postoperative follow-up of asymptomatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients
Hiroaki Toba,Shoji Sakiyama,Hideki Otsuka,Yukikiyo Kawakami,Hiromitsu Takizawa,Koichiro Kenzaki,Kazuya Kondo,Akira Tangoku +7 more
TL;DR: FDG-PET/CT is a useful tool that has high capability to detect recurrences in asymptomatic NSCLC patients after a potentially curative operation, however, a large-scale multi-institutional randomized control trial may be needed to ascertain the benefit of surveillance with FDG- PET/CT.
Journal ArticleDOI
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and the relationship between fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, glucose transporter-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor in thymic epithelial tumours.
Hiroaki Toba,Kazuya Kondo,Yohei Sadohara,Hideki Otsuka,Masami Morimoto,Koichiro Kajiura,Yasushi Nakagawa,Mitsuteru Yoshida,Yukikiyo Kawakami,Hiromitsu Takizawa,Koichiro Kenzaki,Shoji Sakiyama,Yoshimi Bando,Akira Tangoku +13 more
TL;DR: FDG-PET/CT should be performed in patients with tumours in the anterior mediastinum because the pattern of FDG uptake and SUVmax are useful in the differential diagnosis of thymic epithelial tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Transbronchial biopsy using an ultrathin bronchoscope guided by CBCT and VBN showed a very high yield in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.
