Article Synopsis
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation are being increasingly used in esophageal cancer treatment, but their overall impact on patient outcomes is still unclear.
- Between 1995 and 2002, 118 patients were treated for localized esophageal cancer using various methods, including surgery and chemoradiation, with no significant differences in complications or hospital stays among treatment types.
- A notable finding was that 47% of patients who received neoadjuvant therapy showed a complete pathological response, leading to a longer 3-year survival rate compared to those who didn't achieve this response, suggesting the treatment is both safe and potentially effective.
Objectives: To present a case of an unusual benign tumor of the tongue treated successfully with radiotherapy.
Study Design: Case report.
Methods: Retrospective chart review.
Between 2000 and 2002, the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO) conducted its 18th, 19th, and 20th annual surveys of all residents training in radiation oncology in the United States.
