BACKGROUND
Benign esophageal strictures can recur despite multiple dilatation procedures and palliative management can be challenging.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the technique and determine the outcome of esophageal stenting for treatment of refractory benign esophageal strictures (RBES) in
A 74-year-old man with nausea underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and a 0-IIb type tumor was found in the middle thoracic esophagus. Histological examination with endoscopic biopsies revealed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and chromoendoscopy with iodine staining revealed that the
Aclacinomycin A (ACM) is different from other anthracycline antibiotics in its antitumor activity and clinical effect. We report a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia complicated with severe esophageal ulcer by BH-AC . AMP therapy. The patient was 24 years old. In 1983, he achieved complete
OBJECTIVE
The authors present their experience in treating cases of severe esophageal stenosis resistant to conventional dilatation through the placement of silicone stents, describe a precise placement technique, and establish a standard protocol for the use of these devices.
METHODS

A 49-year-old man with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) developed epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to a cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced ulceration in the distal esophagus and proximal stomach. All symptoms improved on treatment with ganciclovir.
Acute esophageal necrosis is defined as necrosis of the esophageal mucosa causing diffuse black pigmentation of the esophagus, the so-called black esophagus from its endoscopic findings. The prevalence is only 0.001~0.2%, while its mortality rate is up to 32%. However, most of the OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical and endoscopic features of caustics injuries in the upper gastrointestinal tract in patients of the National Hospital Daniel Alcides Carrión.
METHODS
A descriptive study was conducted; the study populations were patients diagnosed with caustic ingestion who were
OBJECTIVE
The safety and efficacy of i.v. glucagon for the relief of acute esophageal food impaction were evaluated.
CONCLUSIONS
The medical literature was reviewed to identify published trials and case series on the use of i.v. glucagon for the relief of acute esophageal food impaction. Individual
BACKGROUND
Alendronate sodium is an aminobisphosphonate indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and has been associated with esophagitis in many reports. Esophageal stenosis, gastrointestinal symptoms as dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain could be
OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility and outcome of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CT-RT) with large regional field and high-dose external beam boost irradiation in thoracic esophageal cancer.
METHODS
Patients with clinical stage T1 (submucosal)-4N0-1M0 (UICC 1997) squamous cell carcinoma of the
Most of the patients with advanced gastric cancer have incurable disease at presentation and require palliative treatment to reduce symptoms as vomiting, nausea and inability to eat. Treatment options are palliative surgery and endoscopic techniques. Insertion of self-expanding metal stents is
Photodynamic therapy was the first treatment to have been shown to significantly decrease high-grade dysplasia and cancer in patients with Barrett's esophagus. However, its use has been limited, primarily because of the side effects, which include esophageal strictures, cutaneous photosensitivity,
BACKGROUND
Expandable esophageal stents are widely used for the palliation of dysphagia in patients with esophageal cancer and are also beginning to be used in patients with benign esophageal diseases such as refractory strictures and fistulas. There is concern regarding the increased risk of
Surgical resection is the mainstay of gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer treatment and has curative potential for patients with early-stage disease. In order to improve the poor survival rates, there are two complementary treatment strategies used at most - perioperative chemotherapy based
