Pre-operative radiotherapy prolongs survival in operable esophageal carcinoma: a randomized, multicenter study of pre-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The second Scandinavian trial in esophageal cancer.
In a prospective multicenter study, 186 patients with squamous cell esophageal carcinoma, who after evaluation were considered suitable for surgery, were randomized to 4 treatment groups: Group 1, surgery alone; Group 2, pre-operative chemotherapy (cisplatin and bleomycin) and surgery; Group 3, pre-operative irradiation (35 Gy) and surgery; Group 4, pre-operative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Three-year survival was significantly higher in the pooled groups receiving radiotherapy as compared with the pooled groups not receiving radiotherapy. Comparison of the groups having pre-operative chemotherapy with those not having chemotherapy showed no significant difference in survival. Female patients had a significantly better survival than males. The results indicate that pre-operative irradiation had a beneficial effect on intermediate term survival, whereas the chemotherapy regime used did not influence survival.

Nurse to patient ratios and patient outcomes.
The findings of this study suggest that currently available data could be used to monitor changes and trends in nurse to patient ratios. A link was discovered between nurse staffing levels and patient readmission rates that has not been addressed in the literature, although this would require further investigation.
