More About This Textbook
Overview
Recent clinical trials of adjuvant therapy for gastric cancer in Japan have shown improved survival benefits, but the results have been considered controversial and have been viewed with some skepticism in the West. Until now, the efforts of Japanese surgical oncologists in multimodality therapy have not been fully understood because they have not been adequately reported in English. This volume now presents the experience and expertise of Japanese surgeons who utilize preoperative or intraoperative chemotherapy, or a combination of systemic and regional chemotherapy. Their collected work provides valuable insight in the Japanese perspective and success in treating gastric cancer. Included in the appendix is an extensive tabular analysis of the gastric cancer database at the Cancer Institute Hospital of Tokyo. Probably the largest such database in the world from a single institution, the analyses present the state of the art in treatment of gastric cancer.
The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some color illustrations.
Editorial Reviews
Doody's Review Service
Reviewer: Jonas Maguusson, MD, PhD (Landspitalinn University Hospital)Description: This is a comprehensive overview of multimodal therapy for gastric cancer as practiced by Japanese surgeons. It is multi-authored (mainly Japanese) and both review chapters and original work are included. Not least, an appendix of the tabular analysis of the gastric cancer database of the Cancer Institute in Tokyo with over 12000 patients (probably the largest in the world) is included.
Purpose: The survival rates after gastric cancer surgery are poor in the West compared to Japan. The purpose of this book is to present the Japanese methods which have given much better results and to highlight the need for randomized studies. The studies presented here give the reader ideas to initiate novel treatment methods. This work will contribute to the development of future clinical research. The editors have certainly succeeded in their goals in this much-needed book.
Audience: The intended audience includes surgical oncologists, general surgeons, and medical oncologists. Fellows and residents in these fields will find it useful.
Features: The book is divided into six sections and an appendix. In the first section adjuvant chemotherapy is covered. The Japanese experience is reviewed in a very well written chapter. The non-Japanese experience and meta analysis of adjuvant chemotherapy is reviewed. In the second section prevention and control of peritoneal dissemination is discussed, including peritonectomy, a procedure not performed in the West. In the third section liver metastasis is covered, and in the fourth control of distant lymph node metastases is presented. The fifth section deals with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable diseases. There is considerable interest in this field currently with ongoing studies. In the last section future perspectives in various directions are discussed. Each chapter is up to date and adequate references are provided. The appendix contains the tabular analysis of Cancer Institute Hospital Database on gastric cancer. The tables are detailed and this appendix is invaluable for gastric cancer research. Indeed, it sets the standard for the Western world.
Assessment: This is an excellent and unique book on gastric cancer. The Japanese experience and thoughts on gastric cancer are detailed. Physicians caring for gastric cancer patients should read this book.
