Current research

PRE-SET: PeRioperativE Study of Exercise Training – a none-randomized feasibility study: Usual care observation vs exercise training intervention in patients with operable gastroesophageal cancer

To explore the safety, feasibility and efficacy of structured pre- and post-operative exercise training in patient undergoing surgery for cancer of the gastro-esophageal junction   

 

Prognostic Role of Muscle Dysfunction in Patients with Gastrointestinal Cancer

To explore the prognostic role of muscle dysfunction in patients undergoing treatment for upper GI cancer by evaluating the predictive value of low muscle mass and/or strength on post-operative complications, tolerance to adjuvant/palliative systemic treatments, disease-specific and overall survival.

 

 

Mobilization and enteral intake in patients with operable gastroesophageal cancer

To explore the effect of pre- and postoperative weight loss in patient undergoing surgery for cancer of the gastro-esophageal junction   

 

Predictive and prognostic value of immunohistochemical markers for proliferation and apoptosis in cancer of the oesophagus

To determine the prognostic and predictive value of several markers in patients with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus

 

Effect of medicine use on oncological outcome and postoperative complications in patients with cancer of the esophagus.

To investigate whether perioperative statin, metformin and NSAID use was associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality
