TOTAL THORACOSCOPIC THORACIC LYMPHADENECTOMY IN THE TREATMENT OF ESOPHAGEAL CANCER
Barros, Inês; Bártolo, Joana; Romano, Joana; Ramos, Paulo; Monteiro, Cecília; Casaca, Rui; Abecasis, NunoINTRODUCTION: In esophageal cancer, surgical resection and its corresponding lymphadenectomy remains the only therapeutic strategy that offers a possibility of cure. Despite the fact that a minimally invasive approach allows for an adequate lymphadenectomy with less associated morbidity, its high technical complexity means that many centers still do not perform it routinely. OBJECTIVE: Systematization...
Impact of perioperative chemotherapy on postoperative morbidity after gastrecto...
Cabral, Francisco; Ramos, Paulo; Monteiro, Cecília; Casaca, Rui; Pinto, Iola; Abecasis, NunoIntroduction: The use of perioperative chemotherapy (CT) in patients with advanced gastric carcinoma increases their overall survival. This therapy may also increase the number of patients with R0 resection. Potential drawbacks of this therapy, besides its toxicity, include increased surgical morbidity. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of patients undergoing gastrectomy with curative intent, fo...

Indications for sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with core- needle biopsy...
Moniz, João Vargas; Barroca, Rita; Casaca, Rui; Costa, C. Santos; Almeida, J. C. MendesThere is no indication for lymph node staging in patients with DCIS. However a significant number of core-needle biopsy (CNB)- diagnosed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) operative specimens have invasive carcinoma, demanding further surgery for lymph node staging. The objectives of our study are to find predictive factors of invasive carcinoma and lymph node metastases in patients with pre-operative diagnosis of...
