European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology, Volume 42, Issue 8, 19 3 2016, Pages 1183-1190 Delaying surgery after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not significantly influence postoperative morbidity or oncological outcome in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Kathiravetpillai N, Koëter M, van der Sangen MJ, Creemers GJ, Luyer MD, Rutten HJ, Nieuwenhuijzen GA
Background: Patients with resectable oesophageal cancer are treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery within 3-8 weeks. In practice, surgery is often delayed for various reasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether delaying surgery beyond 8 weeks has an effect on postoperative morbidity, long-term survival, and pathologic response in patients treated for oesophageal ADC. Methods: Patients who underwent nCRT followed by surgery, for cT1-3, N0-3, M0 ADC betwee... Abstract
