Journal ArticleDOI

Pathologic assessment of tumor regression after preoperative chemoradiotherapy of esophageal carcinoma. Clinicopathologic correlations.

TL;DR: A pilot study was undertaken to determine if pathologic assessment of tumor regression correlated with disease free survival in patients with esophageal carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histologic tumor type is an independent prognostic parameter in esophageal cancer: lessons from more than 1,000 consecutive resections at a single center in the Western world.

TL;DR: Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer has become a safe procedure in experienced hands and has a better long-term prognosis after resection than squamous cell carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening and surveillance for Barrett esophagus in high-risk groups: a cost-utility analysis.

TL;DR: Decision analysis was used to determine whether current recommendations for screening of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) represent cost-effective care and to identify clinical variables critical to the determination of cost-effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phase 2 study of SP1049C, doxorubicin in P-glycoprotein-targeting pluronics, in patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction.

TL;DR: SP1049C has a notable single-agent activity in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and GEJ, as well as an acceptable safety profile, and the results of preclinical studies demonstrating superior antitumor activity of SP10 49C compared with doxorubicin in a standard formulation indicate that further evaluations of SP 1049C alone or combined with other relevant therapeutics in this disease setting are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete Pathologic Response After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer Is Associated With Enhanced Survival

TL;DR: Patients with complete pathologic response have significantly improved long-term survival compared with patients with near complete and partial responses and future efforts should be directed at understanding determinants of complete responses.
