Abstract

5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is one of the most widely used cytotoxic agents. especially in gastro­intestinal cancers. Protracted venous infusion is a com mon-place route of drug administration but imply some limits. Patients seem to prefer treatment by oral intake but not at the cost of antitumoral activity.The absence of intravenous access devices and complications associated with their implantation is a major benefit of oral fluoropyrimidines. S-1 is a combination of three pharmacological compounds : tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil. Tegafur is a prodrug of 5-FU, an oral fluoropyrimidine, and has been developed as a replacement for infusional 5-FU chemotherapy. S-1 based therapy is a recommended first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer in Japan since 1999. Following a clinical trial in 24 non-asian countries, S-1 in combination with cisplatin has been approved in Europe in 2011 and has shown equivalent efficacy and a better tolerance comparing to 5-FU.Furthermore, S-1 has a favorable toxicity (besides hand-foot syndrome). In spite of this convenient use, S-1 needs probably more attention to patient education and patient support to optimize compliance and safety. Le 5-fluorouracile (5-FU) est un des agents cytotoxiques les plus employés, en particulier dans les cancers digestifs. La perfusion continue est un mode d'administration banale mais comporte certaines limites. Les patients semblent préférer un traitement par voie orale, mais pas au détriment d'une activité anti-tumorale . L'absence d'un dispositif intraveineux et de complications associées à son implantation constitue un atout majeur des fluoropyrimidines orales. S-1 est une association de trois composés pharmacologiques :tégafur, giméracil et otéracil. Tégafur est un prodrug du 5-fluorouracile (5-FU), une fluoropyrimidine orale, et a été développé pour remplacer une chimiothérapie à base de 5-FU en perfusion continue. La chimiothérapie à base de S-1 est considérée comme traitement de première ligne pour le cancer gastrique avancé inopérable au Japon depuis 1999. Suite à une étude clinique dans 24 pays non asiatiques, S-1 associé au cisplatine a été approuvé en Europe en 201 1 et a montré une efficacité équivalente et une meilleure tolérance par rapport au 5-FU. En outre, le profil de toxicité s'est avéré favorable (hormis le syndrome mains-pieds). Malgré son confort d'utilisation, S-1 nécessite probablement plus d'attention à l'éducation et au soutien des patients en vue de garantir une meilleure compliance et une meilleure sécurité des patients.

Abstract

Aktuelle Debatten um Food Ethics, Körperlichkeit und gutes Leben sind von Wechselspielen zwischen gastraler und gedanklicher Verdauung geprägt. Doch auch die Geschichte der abendländischen Philosophie ist von Fragen der Verdauung durchzogen. Die thematische Vielfalt ist hier enorm und erbitterter Meinungsstreit keine Seltenheit. Christian W. Denker greift charakteristische Motive dieser Ideengeschichte auf, etwa bei Pythagoras, Platon, Epikur, Philon, Montaigne, Diderot, Kant, Lichtenberg, Hegel, Nietzsche, Freud, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Searle und Derrida, und zeigt zum einen, wie sich die Bedeutung der Verdauung für philosophische Erklärungen zum Wissen, zum Handeln und zur Beurteilung des sinnlichen Erlebens aus der ursprünglichen Kopplung zwischen Sprache und Bauch entwickelt hat. Zum anderen macht er deutlich, wie wissenschaftliche, religiöse und künstlerische Motive den alltäglichen Umgang mit Bäuchen konkret und symbolisch bereichern. »Der intellektuelle Brocken, den uns der Philosoph Christian W. Denker auftischt, ist nicht leicht verdaulich. Von dieser geistigen Speise kann man aber lange zehren. Es ist eine Fundgrube gut zusammengefasster Ernährungsideologien, wie sie seit Jahrtausenden und bis heute so inbrünstig wie haltlos vorgetragen werden.« Ludger Fischer, Journal Culinaire, 22 (2016) Besprochen in: http://www.der-kultur-blog.de, 12 (2015) scienzz magazin, 16.03.2016, Josef Tutsch

Abstract

This richly illustrated volume describes the performance of total and subtotal gastrectomy with extended D2 lymphadenectomy by providing a detailed step-by-step guide to both manual and mechanical procedures. Gastric cancer is the fourth most commonly occurring cancer, and the second most common cancer-related cause of death worldwide, and surgery remains the only potentially curative treatment. Although several aspects of surgical management are still controversial, all guidelines for the treatment of curable gastric cancer recommend subtotal gastrectomy (for tumors located in the antrum and corpus) or total gastrectomy (for tumors located in the fundus) with extended D2 lymphadenectomy. Various technical tips and secrets are revealed that serve to simplify the procedure and simultaneously make it more effective: by rendering esophagojejunal and gastrojejunal anastomosis more secure, the risk of leakage is minimized. High-quality intraoperative color photographs and drawings covering all steps facilitate understanding of these complex operations and will prove an invaluable tool for surgeons, residents and professionals in the field.
