Distribution of Lymph Node Metastases in Esophageal Carcinoma
Background: Lymph node status is an important prognostic parameter in esophageal carcinoma and an independent predictor of survival. Distribution of metastatic lymph nodes may vary with tumor location, tumor histology, tumor invasion depth and neoadjuvant therapy. Surgical strategy depends on the distribution pattern of nodal metastases but consensus on the …
Registry Platform Gastric/Esophageal Cancer (SAPHIR)
The registry aims to collect and analyse information on the antineoplastic treatment of patients with metastatic esophageal, gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, treated in palliative intention in daily routine practice in Germany.
Prospective Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
This is prospective data recording study. All patients will receive standard medical care and no experimental interventions will be performed.
Prediction Models for Complications After CRT in Esophageal Cancer
The aim of this project is to develop and validate NTCP-models for complications after nCRT (and surgical resection), that can be uses for model-based dose optimization for PhRT and PRT, and for model-based selection for PRT, in patients with esophageal cancer
Gastrointestinal Biomarkers in Tissue and Biological Fluid Samples From Colorectal Cancer Patients
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue, blood, urine, stool, and other biological fluids from patients with cancer and from healthy volunteers undergoing colonoscopy or endoscopy may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at gastrointestinal biomarkers in tissue and biological fluid …
Outcomes of Smoker and Drinker With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma After Esophagectomy
Our study demonstrates that patients who did not consume alcohol or smoke had a significant advantage in overall survival (OS) after undergoing esophagectomy. Furthermore, our findings indicate that there was no statistically significant difference in OS between patients with a history of both smoking and drinking, and those who only …
Exosome-based Liquid Biopsies for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers Diagnosis
This study constitutes a case-control investigation employing a retrospective approach. Plasma samples from individuals with esophageal cancer, benign esophageal diseases, gastric cancer, benign gastric diseases, and a healthy control group were systematically collected. Advanced Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) proteomics and single-vesicle membrane protein detection techniques were employed to quantify protein content …
HER2 Status in Esophagogastric Adenocarcinoma and Its Associations With Patient's Clinicopathological Outcomes
Targeted therapies offer promise to improve oncologic outcomes in esophagogastric adenocarcinoma (EGA). The landmark 'Trastuzumab for gastric cancer (ToGA)' trial established the therapeutic value of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) directed therapy in advanced gastric and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, setting a standard of care. Further studies, such as …
Endoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Neoplasms
The study aims to retrospectively investigate the endoscopic resection procedures of cancerous and precancerous lesions of the upper and lower digestive tract in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes and to compare different resection techniques. In particular, the resection techniques investigated will be mucosectomy, en bloc and piecemeal, …
Tumor Cell and DNA Detection in the Blood, Urine and Bone Marrow of Patients With Solid Cancers
Patients with resectable solid primary cancers and even limited number of metastases are potentially curable. However, most patients develop recurrences despite surgery. Circulating and disseminated tumor cell (CTC/DTC) and circulating cell-free (cf) DNA isolation from the blood, urine and bone marrow will increase understanding of cancer spread and advance knowledge …
