Background: Gastric volvulus is a rare condition, characterized by abnormal rotation of the stomach, causing obstruction with risk of ischemia, necrosis, and perforation. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and, as it is life threatening, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Methods: Retrospective study of medical records of intrathoracic gastric volvulus patients treated by video-laparoscopy from January 2000 to December 2018, in a University Hospital.
Background: The treatment of advanced gastric cancer with curative intent is essentially surgical and chemoradiotherapy is indicated as neo or adjuvant to control the disease and prolong survival.
Aim: To assess the survival of patients undergoing subtotal or total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: Were retrospectively analyzed 87 gastrectomized patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma, considered stages IB to IIIC and submitted to adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (protocol INT 0116).

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive neoplasia that requires a multidisciplinary treatment in which survival and prognosis are still not satisfactory. The complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is considered a good prognosis factor, and esophagectomy is indicated.
Aim: Survival analysis of cases with pathologic complete response (ypT0 ypN0) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, submmitted to esophagectomy.
