were 77%, 92%, and 83%, respectively. These parameters forremediastinoscopy were 29%, 100%, and 60%, respectively.Sensitivity (P < .0001) and accuracy (P = .012) were significantlybetter for PET-CT.Conclusion: After a thorough staging mediastinoscopy, postinductionremediastinoscopy had a disappointing sensitivity because ofadhesions and fibrosis. Integrated PET-CT yielded a better result thanthat obtained in previous studies with side-by-side PET and CTimages.DE LEYN P., VANSTEENKISTE J., NACKAERTS K., LORENT N., LIEVENSY., NAFTEUX P., VAN RAEMDONCK D., COOSEMANS W., DECKER G.,LERUT T.: Inductietherapie voor lokaal gevorderd niet-kleincelligbronchuscarcinoom: ervaring van de <strong>Leuven</strong> lung cancer group.Tijdschr. voor Geneeskunde, <strong>2006</strong>; 62(7): 509-515.Bij het lokaal uitgebreide niet-kleincellige bronchuscarcinoom(wanneer er aantasting is van mediastinale lymfeklieren of bij zeercentraal gelegen tumoren of tumoren van de sulcus superior) zijn deresultaten van primaire heelkunde niet bemoedigend. Zowel de kansop complete resectie als de verwachte 5-jaarsoverleving zijn laag.Inductietherapie, bij middel van hetzij chemotherapie, hetzijchemoradiotherapie, biedt hier nieuwe perspectieven. In de groep vanpatiënten met aangetaste mediastinale klieren (N2-aantasting) die eenresectie ondergingen, bedroeg de 2-jaars en de 5-jaars overleving nainductietherapie respectievelijk 68 en 33%. Vooral patiënten metrespons in de mediastinale lymfeklieren hebben de beste prognose.PET-scan lijkt veelbelovend te zijn om deze respons te meten. BijPancoasttumoren is inductieradiochemotherapie gevolgd doorresectie de nieuwe standaardbehandeling.In dit kort artikel rapporteren we de ervaring vaninductiechemotherapie en inductiechemotherapie met radiotherapievan de <strong>Leuven</strong> Lung Cancer Group.DRIESSEN A., LANDUYT W., PASTOREKOVA S., MOONS J., GOETHALSL., HAUSTERMANS K., NAFTEUX P., PENNINCKX F., GEBOES K.,LERUT T., ECTORS N.: Expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), ahypoxia-related protein, rather than vascular-endothelial growth factor(VEGF), a pro-angiogenic factor, correlates with an extemely poorprognosis in esophageal and gastric adenocarcinomas. Ann. Surg.,<strong>2006</strong>; 243(3): 334-340.96
Objective: To evaluate the expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) and vascular-endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in esophageal andgastric adenocarcinomas and in turn with the histologic subtype.Summary background data: Tumor hypoxia is an important factor intherapy resistance. A low oxygen concentration in tumors stimulatesa.o. the expression of CA IX, a marker of hypoxia, and VEGF, a proangiogenicfactor.Methods: We evaluated the immunohistochemical expression of CA IXand VEGF on paraffin-embedded material of 154 resectionspecimens: 39 esophageal, 73 cardiac, and 42 distal gastricadenocarcinomas (UICC classification). The adenocarcinomas weresubtyped according to the Lauren classification (intestinal- and diffusetype).Statistical analysis: chi test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, log-ranktest, and Cox proportional hazards model.Results: CA IX and VEGF expression were independent of thelocalization of the tumor. However, intestinal-type adenocarcinomasshowed a significantly higher expression of CA IX as well as VEGFthan diffuse-type tumors. VEGF expression was associated with ahigh microvessel density. Although survival analysis showed that CAIX expression (P = 0.008) as well as the coexpression of CA IX andVEGF (P = 0.008) correlate with a poor outcome, only CA IXexpression is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival andmetastasis-free survival.Conclusion: The difference in expression of CA IX and VEGF betweenintestinal- and diffuse-type adenocarcinomas may possibly explain thedifferent clinical behavior of these tumors. CA IX expression, ratherthan VEGF positivity in tumors, enables the identification of asubpopulation, characterized by a more aggressive behavior and apoorer prognosis.DUPONT L.J., BLONDEAU K., SIFROM D., VAN RAEMDONCK D.M.,VERLEDEN G.M.: Is gastro-oesophageal reflux more frequent in lungtransplant patients with chronic rejection? J. Heart Lung Transplant.,<strong>2006</strong>; 25: S84(117).Chronic allograft dysfunction predisposes to poor long-term survivalafter lung transplantation (LTx). It has been suggested that gastrooesophagealreflux (GOR) contributes to non-alloimmune lung injuryand the development of BOS. A cross-sectional study was performedto determine the prevalence of GOR in a cohort of lung transplantrecipients by means of combined oesophageal 24-hr pH andimpedance testing. This allowed accurate detection of all GOR events(acid and nonacid) while acid suppression therapy (omeprazole 20 mgor ranitidine 300 mg)- was continued. Thirty-six patients were included97
