Abstract

Background

The role of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) remains uncertain. Therefore, a prospective phase 1 trial was conducted to assess the safety and feasibility of IORT for locally advanced AEG.

Methods

The study enrolled patients with AEG at stages II–IVA from January 2019 to September 2019. Eligible patients received esophagectomy and a single fraction of electron beam radiotherapy. The primary endpoint of the study was a safety profile for IORT. Additionally, survival outcomes and the locoregional recurrence rate (LRR) were compared between the non-IORT and IORT cohorts using propensity score-matching.

Results

For 15 (93.8 %) of the 16 patients in the study, R0 resection was successfully achieved, with only one patient undergoing R1 resection. A total postoperative complication morbidity rate of 43.8 % (7/16) was observed, with major complications (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥3) in 12.5 % of the cases (2/16). Total treatment-related adverse events were reported for seven patients (43.8 %, 7/16). After matching, a lower LRR was observed in the IORT group than in the non-IORT group (0 % [0/12] vs 33.3 % [4/12]; p = 0.028). However, the two groups did not differ significantly in 3-year progression-free survival (PFS: IORT [50.9 %] vs non-IORT [53.4 %]; p = 0.93) or 3-year overall survival (OS: IORT [58.3 %] vs IORT [72.9 %]; p = 0.23).

Conclusions

The current study demonstrated favorable feasibility and safety of IORT for locally advanced AEG. Although IORT is beneficial for improving local control, it may not prolong PFS or OS for patients with locally advanced AEG. A phase 2 trial is warranted for further validation of these outcomes.

Nackenschmerzen nach Bandscheibenvorfall: Muskeltraining hilft!

Bei hartnäckigen Schmerzen aufgrund einer zervikalen Radikulopathie schlägt ein Team der Universität Istanbul vor, lokale Steroidinjektionen mit einem speziellen Trainingsprogramm zur Stabilisierung der Nackenmuskulatur zu kombinieren.

US-Team empfiehlt Gastropexie nach Hiatushernien-Op.

Zur Vermeidung von Rezidiven nach Reparatur einer paraösophagealen Hiatushernie sollte einem US-Team zufolge der Magen bei der Op. routinemäßig an der Bauchwand fixiert werden. Das Ergebnis einer randomisierten Studie scheint dafür zu sprechen.

Mit Lidocain kommt der Darm nicht schneller in Schwung

Verzögertes Wiederanspringen der Darmfunktion ist ein Hauptfaktor dafür, wenn Patientinnen und Patienten nach einer Kolonresektion länger als geplant im Krankenhaus bleiben müssen. Ob man diesem Problem mit Lidocain vorbeugen kann, war Thema einer Studie.

Die elektronische Patientenakte kommt: Das sollten Sie jetzt wissen

Am 15. Januar geht die „ePA für alle“ zunächst in den Modellregionen an den Start. Doch schon bald soll sie in allen Praxen zum Einsatz kommen. Was ist jetzt zu tun? Was müssen Sie wissen? Wir geben in einem FAQ Antworten auf 21 Fragen.
