Preditores de prognóstico nos Tumores Neuroendócrinos Gástricos: um estudo retr...

Resumo Introdução/Objetivo: Os tumores neuroendócrinos gástricos (TNEs-G) têm frequentemente um curso indolente, apesar do seu potencial metastático. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar fatores de prognóstico associados à sobrevida global e à metastização nos doentes com TNEs-G e avaliar o impacto da análise seriada de cromogranina A (CgA). Methods: Estudo retrospectivo in-cluindo doentes consecutivos admi...

Anastomotic Leaks following Esophagectomy for Esophageal and Gastroesophageal J...

Abstract Introduction: Anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy is associated with high mortality and impaired quality of life. Aim: The objective of this work was to determine the effec-tiveness of management of esophageal anastomotic leakage (EAL) after esophagectomy for esophageal and gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Methods: Patients submitted to esophagectomy for esophageal and GEJ cancer at a terti...

Pharmacological Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia: An Old Story Revisited or a ...

Abstract Dyspepsia incorporates a set of symptoms originating from the gastroduodenal region, frequently encountered in the adult population in the Western world. Most patients with symptoms compatible with dyspepsia eventually end up, in the absence of a potential organic cause, being diagnosed with functional dyspepsia. Many have been the new insights in the pathophysiology behind functional dyspeptic symptom...

Endoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors: Long-Term Outco...

Abstract Introduction: Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) are being more frequently diagnosed and treated by endoscopic resection (ER) techniques. However, comparison studies of the different ER techniques or long-term out-comes are rarely reported. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study analyzing short and long-term outcomes after ER of gastric, duodenum, and rectal GI-NETs. Compar...

Anastomotic Leakages after Surgery for Gastroesophageal Cancer: A Systematic Re...

Abstract Introduction: With the increase of esophageal and gastric cancer, surgery will be more often performed. Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most feared postoperative complications of gastroesophageal surgery. It can be managed by conservative, endoscopic (such as endoscopic vacuum therapy and stenting), or surgical methods, but optimal treatment remains controversial. The aim of our meta-analysis wa...

Improving the Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Gastric Cancer in the West

Abstract Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death. In Western countries, its lower prevalence and the absence of mass screening programmes contribute to late diagnosis and a slower implementation of minimally invasive treatments. A secondary prevention strategy through endoscopic surveillance of patients at high risk of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma or by screening gastric canc...

A Rare Cause of Food Impaction: Heterotopic Gastric Mucosa

GE - Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology: Farewell and Good Luck

Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Focused Review and Pract...

Abstract: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors derived from the neuroendocrine cell system, and more commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Over the last decades, the incidence of GI-NETs has been steadily increasing, partly due to the expanding indications for endoscopy. Most patients with NETs are asymptomatic, and their NETs are noticed during screening examinations; thus, endoscopists ar...

How Is Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Gastrointestinal Lesions Being Impl...

Background and Study Aim: Superficial gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms can be treated with endoscopic mucosal resec-tion (EMR) and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). These techniques are widely used in Eastern countries; how-ever, its use in the West is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current implementation of ESD in Western countries. Methods: Western endoscopists (n = 279) who publis...
