Download or read book Esophagectomy Post Surgical Guide Questions and Answers written by Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation (ECEF) www.fightec.org was formed in 2003 by Bart and Virginia Frazzitta. The initial purpose in establishing this 501 C 3 non-profit Organization was to help solicit funds for a CD ROM Project they had committed to fund for Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The project had a cost of $75,000. This was achieved and it served as the beginning of this Foundation geared to focus on a mission statement that covered three goals, namely: • To bring awareness and educate the public and medical community about this disease • To walk the journey with caregivers and with patients who have this disease • To support research projects that will lead to a test for early detection of this disease and also to hopefully cure this disease. ECEF has always kept its focus of not having a major expense factor and as such it does not now have any employees and its only major expense has been its web site development and CPA costs to certify our Financial Statements. We needed to do this to handle the members and patients who have joined ECEF and have availed themselves of the services we provide. We will continue this approach as long as we have the volunteers needed to run an effective and efficient operation. Should this change our goal will be to keep all administrative expenses to no more than 20% of the revenue we have generated. Bart Frazzitta a co-founder and a stage III adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer survivor has been the driving force behind ECEF. He was diagnosed in 1999 and went through chemotherapy, radiation therapy and ultimately Ivor Lewis surgery. He has co-authored a book called 100 Questions & Answers About Esophageal Cancer which provides patients and caregivers with not only the medical response to these selected 100 questions but also a response, from a patients perspective, which has proven helpful to the people who have read the book. Since this book is, in part, an introduction to this disease, he felt it necessary to produce this guide so that patients who have gone through this surgery can have a reference guide to help them navigate the issues they may face as they journey beyond this disease. It is intended to help with quality of life issues and should be looked at, with all the suggestions presented, as a guide to talk to the patient’s physician. Please visit our web site www.fightec.org and see the services and information we provide to patients and caregivers and join us as we journey through this disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Comprehensive Guide to Esophagectomy first discusses the benefits of different anastomotic techniques, procedures for improving healing, methods to assess gastric conduit perfusion, and methods for the detection and management of the cervical anastomotic leak after esophagectomy.The authors review previous literature on minimally invasive esophagectomy, particularly reports that have focused on thoracoscopic esophagectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection, describing recent advances in robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.The concluding study focuses on hybrid laparo-thoracoscopic esophagectomy, with the concept of widening the operation area of the laparoscopic transhiatal approach, reducing the operation area of the right thoracoscopic approach and eventually aiming for radical laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy without blunt dissection.

Download or read book Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma written by Nobutoshi Ando and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esophageal cancer causes an estimated 386,000 deaths worldwide and is the sixth most common cause of death for men. The background characteristics of esophageal cancer treatment are markedly different between Asian and Western countries, however. In tumor histology, squamous cell carcinoma associated with smoking and alcohol consumption is overwhelmingly prevalent in Asia, whereas adenocarcinoma associated with Barrett’s metaplasia is markedly prevalent in the West. In Asia, especially in Japan, the key persons who play important roles in the management of esophageal cancer patients are surgeons; in the West those roles are filled by medical and radiation oncologists as well as surgeons. The philosophy of surgeons regarding cancer surgery varies from locoregional to local tumor control, particularly in focusing on lymph node dissection. Physicians’ approach to surgical adjuvant therapy differs, therefore, between Asia and the West. Considering these East–West differences in esophageal cancer treatment, the currently available results of Western evidence should not be considered directly applicable to esophageal cancer in Asia. In this book, the authors discuss the knowledge base in Japan in terms of treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Since this volume contains a wide spectrum of current information and addresses topics surrounding the treatment of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, it is highly relevant to Asian physicians and researchers as well as to their counterparts in the West.

The importance of gastrointestinal cancer as a frequently occurring disease goes without saying. It accounts for half of human cancer cases but differs from other forms of cancer. Complete prevention is possible through proper treatment of precancerous lesions. There is still no comprehensive book about prevention, early diagnosis, and proper treatment of precancerous lesions and new developed diagnostic modality, and treatment such as endoscopic treatment and minimal invasive surgery and chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Also, this book will contain conservative treatment methods for patients suffering from diverse complications. There will be plentiful clinical cases including endoscopic findings, radiologic images, pathology and treatment outcome in this book. For these reasons, this book will give very valuable information to many gastroenterologists, oncologists , surgeons and general physicians.
