| dc.description | The most common symptom of oesophageal or junctional cancer is dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) 23,24. Other symptoms include odynophagia (pain at the site of the cancer on swallowing), regurgitation of undigested food and weight loss. Dysphagia occurs principally because of luminal narrowing by the cancer 23,24. Other patients, more notably those with early disease may present with the symptoms of the underlying precursor condition for adenocarcinoma, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or may have cancer detected as part of an endoscopic surveillance programme. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Infusion of omega-3 PUFAs resulted in a more favourable chemotherapy side-effect profile and an improved radiological response rate. Treatment resulted in a reduction in serum pro-inflammatory cytokines. Repeated Omegaven infusion resulted in a gradual and sustained uptake of EPA in the red cell membrane. The anti-proliferative effect of omega-3 PUFAs on oesophageal cancer was demonstrated in vitro. | |
