DOTE Volume 35, Issue 1: Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis
Free Article
The prognostic value of histomorphologic regression in primary esophageal cancer has been previously established, however the impact of lymph node (LN) response on survival still remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis have shown a survival benefit to patients with LN downstaging and are suggestive for considering LN downstaging to ypN0 as additional prognostic markers in staging and in the comparative evaluation of differing neoadjuvant regimens in clinical trials.
DOTE Volume 35, Issue 1: Benign Esophageal Disease
Free Article
This study examines demographic and lifestyle risk factors for incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett’s esophagus (BE) in an Australian cohort of 20,975 participants aged 40–63 at recruitment (1990–1994). GERD and BE had different demographic risk factors but shared similar lifestyle factors. Earlier GERD symptom onset for men and smokers might have contributed to higher BE risk. The SEP patterns observed for GERD and BE suggest potential inequity in access to care. These findings would be important in the development of clinical risk prediction models for early detection of BE.
