Alternatively, definitive chemoradiotherapy has demonstrated a significant improvement in local control and overall survival, and is now commonly used for not only unresectable esophageal cancer patients but also in resectable cases. However, little is known about its role in relief of dysphagia. ...
Automated integrated impedance manometry is a promising upcoming tool for objective evaluation of oropharyngeal dysphagia, in non-obstructive esophageal dysphagia and prediction of post fundoplication dysphagia risk. Impedance planimetry provides new diagnostic information on esophageal and LES-distensibility and...

Currently no consensus exists concerning the timing of upper endoscopy and the choice of antifungal therapy for patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus who also have esophageal candidiasis. The objective of this research was to determine the clinical and economic effects of alternative man...
Local control (LC), laryngectomy-free survival (LFS; defined as surviving patients without laryngectomy), laryngo-esophageal dysfunction-free survival (LEDFS; defined as surviving patients without local relapse, total or partial laryngectomy, or tracheotomy or feeding tube at two years or later ...

Established validated tools for the assessment of EoE include questionnaires on dysphagia and QoL (ie, DSQ, EEsAI, and EoE-IQ). More recently, esophageal symptom-specific anxiety and hypervigilance, assessed using the esophageal hypervigilance and anxiety scale (EHAS), have emerged as c...
Most of thepreoperative conditions are asymptomatic, but dilatationtreatment for dysphagia associated with the stricture haspotential risks of severe complications and a worseningof quality of life. Possible mechanisms of dysphasia weredemonstrated based on dysmotility and pathologicalabnormalities at the site...
Ninety-five patients were treated by endoscopic dilation without fluoroscopic guidance between 1997 and 2005 for benign esophageal strictures. The etiologies were: anastomotic (38), postfundoplication (13), caustic (14), peptic (11), radiation-induced (10) and others (9). The strictures were ...
