Gastric cancerrelated information on the Internet: Incomplete, poorly accessible, and overly commercial
2011, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, health information quality varies widely and warnings regarding this have been issued.4 We prospectively evaluated websites containing information on gastric cancer with specific emphasis on factors deemed to be important by both patients and clinicians using the 3 general search engines responsible for more than 98% of Internet searches.1,14,35–37 Overall included websites had low accessibility and readability scores, moderate IS and CS, and reasonable AS.
Prognostic Significance of Age in the Radical Treatment of Oesophageal Cancer with Surgery or Chemoradiotherapy: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study
2010, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :Increasingly, oesophageal cancer patients presenting to upper gastrointestinal cancer regional multidisciplinary network teams are elderly, often over the age of 70 years, but nevertheless seem to be fit for treatment with curative intent. Contemporary optimum treatment for patients diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus remains controversial, but in the UK consists of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection [1–4]. Yet, despite recent advances in radiological staging and peri-operative care, the proportion of patients receiving this treatment strategy is arguably fewer than 20%, due to a combination of age, poor performance status and advanced stage of disease [1,5,6].
Factors Predicting Outcome for Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer in Elderly Patients Receiving Palliative Chemotherapy
2010, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :An audit of centre practice for older patients should be carried out to ensure consistency of prescribing and to assess chemotherapy-related morbidity and mortality. Standardisation of care for important subsets of patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer is important [21,22]. For elderly and poor performance status patients, the role of palliative chemotherapy and the optimal choice of a regimen is yet to be defined.
