Outcomes from salvage esophagectomy post definitive chemoradiotherapy compared with resection following preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (2007)

Smithers, B. M., Cullinan, M., Thomas, J. M., Martin, I., Barbour, A. P., Burmeister, B. H., ...

Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) as a definitive treatment for esophageal cancer, is being used with increasing frequency and as a result, surgeons will be required to assess more patients who have residual...

Survival benefits from neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy in oesophageal carcinoma: a meta-analysis (2007)

Gebski, V., Burmeister, B., Smithers, B. M., Foo, K., Zalcberg, J., Simes, J.

Background Resectable oesophageal cancer is often treated with surgery alone or with preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy. We aimed to clarify the benefits of neoadjuvant...

Relapse patterns after chemo-radiation for carcinoma of the oesophagus (2003)

Denham, J. W., Steigler, A., Smithers, B. M., Ackland, S., Walpole, E., Kilmurray, J., ...

Aim: The detailed review of patterns of failure in this report was undertaken to identify the continuing obstacles to the successful management of oesophageal cancer, and to establish whether there...

Saturable dose-response relationships for melphalan in melanoma treatment by isolated limb infusion in the nude rat (2001)

Roberts, M. S., Wu, Z., Siebert, G., Thompson, J. F., Smithers, B. M.

Nude rats bearing melanomas on their hindlimbs were treated by isolated limb infusion (ILI) with increasing doses (7.5-400 mug/ml) of melphalan. The response of tumours to treatment at the end of the...

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of melphalan in isolated limb infusion for recurrent localized limb malignancy (2001)

Roberts, M. S., Wu, Z. Y., Siebert, G., Anissimov, Y., Thompson, J. F., Smithers, B. M.

Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is an attractive, less complex alternative to Isolated limb perfusion (ILP). It has a lower morbidity in treating localized recurrences and in transit metastases of the...

Microdialysis and response during regional chemotherapy by isolated limb infusion of melphalan for limb malignancies (2001)

Thompson, J. F., Siebert, G., Anissimov, Y., Smithers, B. M., Doubrovsky, A., Anderson, C., ...

This study sought to use a microdialysis technique to relate clinical and biochemical responses to the time course of melphalan concentrations in the subcutaneous interstitial space and in tumour...

Can tissue drug concentrations be monitored by microdialysis during or after isolated limb perfusion for melanoma treatment? (2000)

Wu, Z., Smithers, B. M., Anderson, C., Roberts, M. S.

Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) with melphalan is used to treat recurrent melanoma. This study aimed to develop a microdialysis technique for melphalan tissue concentration measurement during ILP. The...

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication--200 consecutive cases.

Gotley, D C, Smithers, B M, Rhodes, M, Menzies, B, Branicki, F J, Nathanson, L

PATIENTS--Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was undertaken in 200 patients between 1991 and 1994. METHODS--Pre-operative assessment included symptom score, endoscopy, manometry, and 24 hour pH...
