Comparison of Tissue Architectural Changes between Radiofrequency Ablation and Cryospray Ablation in Barrett's Esophagus Using Endoscopic Three-Dimensional Optical Coherence Tomography
Tsai, Tsung-Han; Zhou, Chao; Lee, Hsiang-Chieh; Tao, Yuankai K.; Ahsen, Osman O.; Figueiredo, Marisa; Adler, Desmond C.; Schmitt, Joseph M.; Huang, Qin; Fujimoto, James G.; Mashimo, Hiroshi (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)Two main nonsurgical endoscopic approaches for ablating dysplastic and early cancer lesions in the esophagus have gained popularity, namely, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryospray ablation (CSA). We report a uniquely ... -
Differences in Clinicopathology of Early Gastric Carcinoma between Proximal and Distal Location in 438 Chinese Patients
Huang, Qin; Fang, Cheng; Shi, Jiong; Sun, Qi; Wu, Hongyan; Gold, Jason S.; Weber, H. Christian; Guan, Wenyan; Zhang, Yifen; Yu, Chenggong; Zou, Xiaoping; Mashimo, Hiroshi (Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Early gastric carcinoma (EGC) in Chinese patients remains poorly understood and endoscopic therapy has not been well established. Here, we compared endoscopic and clinicopathologic features between early proximal gastric ... -
Distal esophageal carcinomas in Chinese patients vary widely in histopathology, but adenocarcinomas remain rare
Huang, Qin; Shi, Jiong; Sun, Qi; Fan, Xiangshan; Feng, Anning; Wu, Hongyan; Zhou, Qiang; Yu, Chenggong; Mashimo, Hiroshi; Lauwers, Gregory Y. (Elsevier BV, 2012)In Western countries, distal esophageal adenocarcinoma has outnumbered squamous cell carcinoma because of a dramatic increase in the prevalence of columnar-lined esophagus. Because the relative prevalence of these diseases ... -
