Discordant nodal staging identifies intermediate-risk group for overall survival in patients with cT3 oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Objectives: Oesophageal adenocarcinoma has a poor prognosis and relies on multi-modality assessment for accurate nodal staging. The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic significance of nodal concordance between PET/CT and EUS in oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Methods: Consecutive patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma staged between 2010 and 2016 were included.

Determining doctors' views on performance measurement and management of their clinical practice.

Introducing performance measurement and management of clinicians' practice may improve clinical productivity and quality of patient care; however the attitudes of doctors to such approaches are poorly defined. This was investigated through an anonymous qualitative postal questionnaire in a large district general hospital. A total of 93 from an invited cohort of 368 senior grade doctors participated.
