ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to define the clinical significance of the molecular analysis of peritoneal lavage fluid in patients with gastric cancer in a multicenter prospective trial.
MethodsQuantitative RT‐PCR with CEA and CK‐20 mRNA as target markers was introduced for peritoneal lavage diagnosis in 141 patients with clinically advanced gastric cancer from 9 different institutes. We...
BackgroundThis study evaluated the usefulness of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) using oral 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) for the detection of peritoneal metastases in advanced gastric cancer.
MethodFirst, the numbers of peritoneal metastatic nodules that were visible under conventional white light (WL) and ALA‐induced fluorescence (ALA‐F) were quantified in a mouse model of peritoneal metastasis to compare...
Background In esophageal carcinoma, the clinical significance of immunohistochemically (IHC)-detected lymph node (LN) micrometastasis is still controversial. We designed this multicenter study to determine the clinical significance of IHC-detected LN micrometastasis in esophageal carcinoma. Methods The subjects were 164 patients with histopathologically confirmed LN-negative esophageal carcinoma...
