Meanings of preoperative crt in English

Conclusion: Preoperative CRT in patients with esophageal cancer reduced LRR and peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Eighteen patients were planned for definitive CRT and 12 were planned for preoperative CRT.

Conclusion: Although preoperative CRT was generally effective and well-tolerated, an individualized approach is necessary to improve outcomes.

Conclusion: Preoperative CRT using capecitabine achieved encouraging rates of tumor downstaging and sphincter preservation with a low toxicity profile.

Methods and materials: Forty-four patients with rectal cancer treated with 5-FU-based preoperative CRT were prospectively enrolled in this study.

Methods and materials: A total of 269 patients were enrolled into three clinical trials assessing preoperative CRT at our institution.

Materials and methods: The study retrospectively evaluated 352 locally advanced rectal cancer patients who underwent preoperative CRT followed by surgery.

Results: Seventy-five patients were enrolled on the study: 36 received preoperative CT and 39 preoperative CRT.

Conclusions: Even though patients achieved major response after preoperative CRT, pretreatment clinical stage is an important prognostic marker for recurrence and survival.

Conclusions: Preoperative CRT with irinotecan and capecitabine with treatment-free weekends showed very mild toxicity profiles and promising results in terms of survival.

Patients planned for preoperative CRT underwent surgery 4-13 weeks (median 8.3 weeks) following completion of CRT.

Conclusions: Patients with potentially resectable gastric cancer treated with preoperative CRT are found to be ineligible for surgery principally because of peritoneal progression.

Considering the late recurrence in this patient, it might be necessary to long-term follow-up beyond 5 years in patients with preoperative CRT followed by LE.

Methods and materials: The study involved 420 patients who underwent preoperative CRT and curative resection between August 2001 and October 2006.

We aimed to evaluate the risk factors and prognostic impact of early recurrence in patients who received preoperative CRT (pCRT) followed by TME for LARC.

Methods and materials: Between 1996 and 2004, 39 patients with potentially resectable gastric cancer received preoperative CRT but failed to undergo surgery.
