Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction by Simone Giacopuzzi,Andrea Zanoni,Giovanni de Manzoni Pdf

This book offers up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the diagnosis and therapy of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). As is appropriate in the era of multidisciplinary and multimodal treatment, the contributions of all the various specialists involved cooperatively in the treatment of EGJ cancer are thoroughly described. Detailed attention is also paid to the significance of preneoplastic lesions, such as Barrett esophagus. The final part of the book represents a surgical atlas documenting the techniques used in the EGJ region, with superb color images and stepwise description of procedures. Against the background of the rapidly increasing incidence in EGJ cancer, especially evident in Western countries, there is a need for greater uniformity in management strategies, which currently vary significantly across the world. This book provides appropriate guidance that will assist all practitioners involved in the diagnosis and treatment of EGJ cancers, including surgeons, oncologists, and radiotherapists.

Cancer of the Esophagus - ECAB by Samiran Nundy Pdf

Of all the malignant lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, cancer of the esophagus is among the most difficult to manage. Although it has fairly typical presenting clinical features in the form of an elderly patient with dysphagia; the subsequent investigations have to be fine-tuned to select which patient should undergo esophageal resection (a formidable procedure which carries a high mortality risk and is associated with serious complications), who should undergo neoadjuvant therapy and who should only be palliated with stents or chemoradiotherapy. In recent years this fine-tuning has become much more precise with many patients being saved from harmful explorations of the chest and abdomen only to encounter widespread disease and at the same time many who have large, locally invasive tumors which were thought to be unresectable being given neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequently being able, sometimes, to undergo curative esophagectomy. Possibly because of these improvements in diagnosis and multimodality treatment, the 5-year survival of patients with esophageal cancer that has been resected has improved from a dismal 5%, 15 years ago to a more respectable 25% now. In this book, authors, two thirds of whom are from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York, have evaluated the published evidence on different aspects of the management of patients with esophageal cancer as well as made recommendations from their own experience with the disease. Thus, we have chapters on diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, staging, perioperative therapy, operative treatment (transhiatal, radical, Ivor Lewis and the minimally invasive approaches) and postoperative complications. Finally there is a chapter discussing the epidemiology and difficulties in the management of patients with esophageal cancer in India where the disease is common and mainly affects poor people who cannot afford expensive treatment. The author mainly discusses the experience of the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai where every year 1200 patients are seen with the disease and 180 undergo surgery. This is amongst the largest experience of the treatment of patients with esophageal cancer worldwide. All the subjects and authors have been brought together for this volume by the Editor, Manjit Singh Bains, who is a Professor of Clinical Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Cornell Weill Medical College in New York as well as an Attending Thoracic Surgeon at the MSKCC.

Esophageal Cancer by Nabil F. Saba,Bassel F. El-Rayes Pdf

​This book reviews the recent progress made in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal cancer. Epidemiology, molecular biology, pathology, staging, and prognosis are first discussed. The radiologic assessment of esophageal cancer and the role of endoscopy in diagnosis, staging, and management are then described. The principles of surgical resection, radiation therapy, and systemic chemotherapy for esophageal cancer are explained, and particular attention is paid to the multidisciplinary management of early-stage cervical, thoracic, distal, and junctional tumors. Up-to-date information is also provided on the treatment of metastatic and recurrent disease and on approaches that may affect future care, such as chemoprevention. Esophageal cancer remains one of the least studied cancers although it accounts for more than 400,000 deaths across the globe each year. The majority of esophageal cancers worldwide are squamous cell carcinomas, yet in the past few decades major epidemiologic changes have occurred affecting the incidence of adenocarcinomas in Western countries. Despite the advances in surgical and non-surgical therapies, overall survival has not changed significantly. It is hoped that Esophageal Cancer: Prevention, Diagnosis and Therapy will assist specialists from a variety of disciplines, including surgery, radiation therapy, gastroenterology, and medical oncology, in delivering optimal, up-to-date care to the benefit of patients.

GERD by Parakrama T. Chandrasoma,Tom R. DeMeester Pdf

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common maladies of mankind. Approximately 40% of the adult population of the USA suffers from significant heartburn and the numerous antacids advertised incessantly on national television represents a $8 billion per year drug market. The ability to control acid secretion with the increasingly effective acid-suppressive agents such as the H2 blockers (pepcid, zantac) and proton pump inhibitors (nexium, prevacid) has given physicians an excellent method of treating the symptoms of acid reflux. Unfortunately, this has not eradicated reflux disease. It has just changed its nature. While heartburn, ulceration and strictures have become rare, reflux-induced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is becoming increasingly common. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia is now the most rapidly increasing cancer type in the Western world. The increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has created an enormous interest and stimulus for research in this area. GERD brings together a vast amount of disparate literature and presents the entire pathogenesis of reflux disease in one place. In addition to providing a new concept of how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus, GERD also offers a complete solution to a problem that has confused physicians for over a century. Both clinical and pathological information about reflux disease and its treatment are presented. GERD is meant to be used as a comprehensive reference for gastroenterologists, esophageal surgeons, and pathologists alike. Outlines how gastroesophageal reflux causes cellular changes in the esophagus Brings together the pathogenesis of the disease in one source and applies it toward clinical treatment Tom DeMeester is THE leading international expert on reflux disease; Parakrama Chandrasoma is one of the leading pathologists in the area Book contains approximately 350 illustrations Ancillary web site features color illustrations: www.chandrasoma.com

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Nobutoshi Ando Pdf

This is the second edition of the book, covering a wide spectrum of the latest information relevant to diagnosis and treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In recent years the incidence rate of esophageal cancer has been increasing; however, the background characteristics of the cancer treatment are significantly different between Asian and Western countries. In tumor histology, ESCC associated with smoking and alcohol consumption is overwhelmingly prevalent in Asia, whereas adenocarcinoma associated with Barrett’s metaplasia is remarkably prevalent in the West. In Asia, especially in Japan, surgeons play a significant role in the management of esophageal cancer patients, while medical and radiation oncologists as well as surgeons are important in the West. Considering these East–West differences in management of esophageal cancer, evidence originating in Asia should be more widely disseminated globally. The contributing authors, who have great expertise in their areas of specialization, discuss details in terms of treatment of ESCC, including basic science, diagnosis, surgery, other treatment modalities, Japanese guidelines, and also valuable experiences from other Asian countries. Accordingly, this excellent collection of texts benefits not only oncologists, but all medical and biological researchers involved in the latest ESCC research.

Superficial Esophageal Neoplasm by M. Imamura Pdf

This book, containing the proceedings of the 2000 Kyoto Symposium on Esophageal Cancer, is an important contribution for all types of physicians interested in both squamous and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. The volume has great legitimacy and relevance. The symposia hosted by Professor Masayuki Imamura brought together the leaders in several disciplines from Japan with other acknowledged authorities from Europe, the United States, Australia, and other parts of Asia. Japan has long been a leader in making advances in understanding the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, for several decades originally led by Professor Komei Nakayama and his students. It is now clear that Japanese are also beginning to suffer from esophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett's columnar lined epithelium, thus enabling the Japanese to formulate studies on the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment for the full spectrum of esophageal neoplasms. The authoritativeness of these proceedings is established not only by the long tradi tion of Japanese leadership in the field but by the contributions of the principal leaders from the Nakayama school participating in the honorary faculty and local scientific committee.

Esophageal Carcinoma by J. Lange,Jochen Lange,Jörg Rüdiger Siewert Pdf

The Symposium "Esophageal Carcinoma - State of the Art" has aroused very great interest. The numerous enquiries have caused us to publish the congress proceedings in the present volume. Particular attention was paid to current topical problems. One of the areas on which the present volume focuses is the epidemiol­ ogy and pathology of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Compared to squamous epithelial carcinoma, this is increasing in incidence in Europe. Modern diagnostic methods are described such as laser­ induced fluorescence spectroscopy or the optical coherence endo­ scopic technique. The latter enables normal mucosa to be distin­ guished from dysplastic or malignant lesions, in contrast to con­ ventional endoscopy. As in other tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, neoadjuvant therapy is becoming of increasing importance. Since the indication crucially depends on the tumor stage, two contributions deal with postoperative staging, with the diagnostic reliability of the individual techniques and new methods such as endoluminal MRI. There is no doubt that neoadjuvant chemo­ therapy is indicated in tumors which are irresectable and in tumor stages in which resectability is uncertain. However, to what extent it should also be applied in the resectable stage will be discussed in the individual contributions both for adenocarci­ noma and for squamous epithelial carcinoma. In the meantime, surgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma has been largely stan­ dardized. Differences with regard to radicality are still found in the extent of lymphadenectomy, especially in inclusion of cervi­ cal lymph nodes.
