Surgery for esophageal cancer after concomitant radiochemotherapy: oncologic and functional results.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of surgery after preoperative radiochemotherapy (PRCT) for esophageal cancer. This retrospective study included 88 patients scan between 1992 and 2000. The median follow-up was 55.

[Secondary debulking surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy in advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer].

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the indications and the results of secondary cytoreduction surgery with intraperitoneal (i.p.) paclitaxel chemotherapy in advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Appropriate gastric resection with lymph node dissection for early gastric cancer.

Background: The extent of lymphadenectomy (limited vs. extended) and that of gastric resection (partial vs. total) remain controversial issues in the management of early gastric cancer (EGC).

Treatment and prognosis of early multiple gastric cancer.

Aim: Early gastric cancer (EGC) may have a 5-year survival rate of over 90% following surgery. Early multifocal gastric cancer (EMGC) accounts for between 8.3 and 17% of all EGCs.
