Esophageal stent with antireflux valve for tumors involving the cardia: work in progress.
PURPOSE: To describe an esophageal stent with a polyester mesh cover and an antireflux valve, and to assess its efficacy in the treatment of patients with inoperable tumors of the gastric cardia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen patients with adenocarcinoma of the cardia, two patients with squamous cell carcinoma, and three patients with recurrent carcinoma of the gastric fundus after surgery were treated by placement of an esophageal stent with an antireflux valve. The spiral Z stent has a porous, polyester mesh cover and an antireflux sleeve made of pliable polyurethane at its lower end. RESULTS: Placement of the stent was successful in all patients, and their dysphagia disappeared or significantly improved. All were able to swallow solid food, and no patient reported significant reflux or "gas bloat" syndrome prior to death or the end of follow-up. Two patients only complained of minor heartburn. Follow-up barium swallow studies showed the absence of significant gastroesophageal reflux in all patients. No stent migration occurred. CONCLUSION: The esophageal stent with antireflux valve has been effective in the treatment of malignant obstruction of the cardia and allowed good esophageal passage without migration and major gastroesophageal reflux.

Lung resection in a neoadjuvant protocol.
Neoadjuvant therapy was defined as a cytoreductive therapy administered prior to a definitive locoregional treatment--surgical resection. While surgical resection can be curative in patients diagnosed with localized early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, patients with nodal (N1, N2) disease are generally not candidates for exclusive surgery. Inductive therapy can improve the microscopic metastatic disease, eradicate the primary tumor and thereby improve survival.
