esophageal neoplasms/吐き気

Chemotherapy is an indispensable therapeutic approach for esophageal cancer. Although chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is one of the most crucial adverse events, the current state of CINV in patients with esophageal cancer remains unclear. This multicenter prospective observational

The effects of ondansetron hydrochloride (OND) were studied through 11 courses of chemotherapy, including 70 mg/m2 of cisplatin, in 9 patients with advanced esophageal cancer. During the observation period of 5 days, 4 mg of OND was given intravenously on the day of cisplatin infusion and orally for

BACKGROUND A retrospective analysis was carried out on the efficacy and toxicity of the combination of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, etoposide and cisplatin (FLEP) in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer treated at our institution. METHODS Patients received intravenous 5-fluorouracil 500 mg/m2,

UNASSIGNED Esophageal cancer is on the rise in the western world and the disease has a poor 5-year survival prognosis below 20 %. Electrochemotherapy is a treatment where a chemotherapeutic drug is combined with locally applied electrical pulses, in order to increase the drug's cytotoxicity in

BACKGROUND We investigated the efficacy and tolerability of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus bevacizumab as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal cancer. METHODS In this prospective phase II study, 22 patients with adenocarcinoma and 6 with squamous

BACKGROUND We investigated the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin as first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer. METHODS 16 chemotherapy-naïve patients with distant metastases were included in the study (15 male, 1 female; median age: 58.5 years (range 37-69); median

BACKGROUND Development of a second primary malignancy after an index esophageal cancer is a rare event, primarily due to short survival of patients with esophageal cancer. However, the number of long-term esophageal cancer survivors has been increasing due to advances in early detection and

Esophageal cancer is one of the rarer solid tumors that metastasize to the central nervous system. We describe a case of a 57-year-old male, previously confirmed to have obstructive esophageal adenocarcinoma with local mediastinal and esophagogastric lymph node involvement undergoing chemotherapy,

5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP) are common chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of patients with advanced esophageal cancer. We investigated the efficacy of adding a continuous infusion of a large dose of a common adjuvant, citrovorumfactor (CF), to the traditional 5-FU/wCDDP regimen.

OBJECTIVE Fluorinated pyrimidines have been established as radiosensitizers in the combined modality therapy of esophageal cancer. UFT, an oral combination of a 5-fluorouracil pro-drug (uracil) and a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase inhibitor (ftorafur), may provide improvement in the ease of

BACKGROUND The antiemetic effects of serotonin receptor antagonists during chemoradiotherapy for solid tumors have never been reported. We have developed hyperthermo-chemo-radiotherapy (HCR) for esophageal cancer. However, with this treatment, the more potent the chemotherapy was, the more

To assess the clinical effect and safety of Chinese traditional medicine injection combined with radiotherapy for esophageal cancer. The relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Chinese medical injections (CMI) combined with radiotherapy as well as simple radiotherapy for esophageal cancer

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of olanzapine in combination with palonosetron and dexamethasone for patients receiving cisplatin (≥50 mg/m(2) ), because this antiemetic therapy has not been sufficiently examined in patients receiving cisplatin. METHODS We conducted a phase II study

Nausea and vomiting, symptoms that occur commonly near the end of life, represent a substantial source of physical and psychological distress for patients and families. In the context of the case of Mr Q, a 50-year-old man with metastatic esophageal cancer admitted to the hospital with intractable
