The lymphatic vascular system, the body's second vascular system present in vertebrates, has emerged in recent years as a crucial player in normal and pathological processes. It participates in the maintenance of normal tissue fluid balance, the immune functions of cellular and antigen trafficking and absorption of fatty.

Mar 20, 2009. As expected, the cortical lymphatics were largely devoid of CD169-positive cells (Figure S2). Because we wanted to image those B lymphocytes ready to exit the lymph node follicle rather than recent immigrants, we blocked further lymphocyte ingress into lymph nodes by treating the mice with CD62L.

Van der Gaast, for the CROSS Group N Engl J Med 2012; 366:2074-2084 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1112088. Results From March 2004 through December 2008, we enrolled 368 patients, 366 of whom were included in the analysis: 275 (75%) had adenocarcinoma, 84 (23%) had squamous-cell carcinoma, and 7 (2%) had large-cell undifferentiated carcinoma.

Of the 366 patients, 178 were randomly assigned to chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery, and 188 to surgery alone. The most common major hematologic toxic effects in the chemoradiotherapy–surgery group were leukopenia (6%) and neutropenia (2%); the most common major nonhematologic toxic effects were anorexia (5%) and fatigue (3%).

Complete resection with no tumor within 1 mm of the resection margins (R0) was achieved in 92% of patients in the chemoradiotherapy–surgery group versus 69% in the surgery group (P. Figure 2 Kaplan–Meier Plots of Estimated Overall 5-Year Survival.

Panel A shows a Kaplan–Meier plot of the estimated overall 5-year survival among patients with esophageal or esophagogastric-junction cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery (178 patients) or surgery alone (188), according to an intention-to-treat analysis. Panel B shows a Kaplan–Meier plot of the estimated overall 5-year survival among the 134 patients with adenocarcinoma (AC) treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery and the 141 treated with surgery alone, and the 41 patients with squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery and the 43 treated with surgery alone, according to an intention-to-treat analysis. Other tumor types were excluded from this analysis. With new diagnoses in more than 480,000 patients annually, esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer worldwide. It is a highly lethal disease, causing more than 400,000 deaths per year. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is rapidly rising, whereas that of squamous-cell carcinoma remains unchanged.

Despite adequate preoperative staging, 25% of patients treated with primary surgery have microscopically positive resection margins (R1), and the 5-year survival rate rarely exceeds 40%. The role of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been debated for several decades. In most randomized trials, no survival benefit could be shown, and the trials were criticized for inadequate trial design, samples that were too small, and poor outcomes in the surgery-alone group. Meta-analyses suggest a survival benefit from neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, albeit frequently at the cost of increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. We previously reported a phase 2 trial of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy consisting of weekly administration of carboplatin and paclitaxel with concurrent radiotherapy. This regimen was associated with a low rate of serious toxic effects, and a complete resection with no tumor within 1 mm of the resection margins (R0) was achieved in all patients who underwent resection. These results encouraged us to initiate a multicenter, randomized, controlled, phase 3 study comparing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery with surgery alone in patients with potentially curable esophageal or esophagogastric-junction carcinoma.
