Preoperative Radiotherapy Combined with Total Mesorectal Excision for Resectable Rectal Cancer

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to determine whether the addition of preoperative radiotherapy increases the benefit of total mesorectal excision, and the overall rate of survival at two years among the eligible patients was 82.0 percent in the group assigned to both radiotherapy and surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative radiotherapy combined with total mesorectal excision for resectable rectal cancer: 12-year follow-up of the multicentre, randomised controlled TME trial

TL;DR: Preoperative short-term radiotherapy significantly improved 10-year survival in patients with a negative circumferential margin and TNM stage III, and future staging techniques should offer possibilities to select patient groups for which the balance between benefits and side-effects will result in sufficiently large gains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical treatment of gastric cancer: 15-year follow-up results of the randomised nationwide Dutch D1D2 trial

TL;DR: After a median follow-up of 15 years, D2 lymphadenectomy is associated with lower locoregional recurrence and gastric-cancer-related death rates than D1 surgery and a safer, spleen-preserving D2 resection technique is currently available in high-volume centres.
Journal ArticleDOI

The TME Trial After a Median Follow-Up of 6 Years: Increased Local Control but No Survival Benefit in Irradiated Patients With Resectable Rectal Carcinoma

TL;DR: There is a persisting overall effect of preoperative short-term radiotherapy on local control in patients with clinically resectable rectal cancer, however, there is no effect on overall survival.
