Overview
Research efforts of the Division have changed the practice and redefined the treatment options for patients with esophageal cancer and benign esophageal disorders. The Division has published large series on photodynamic therapy for esophageal and lung cancer, minimally invasive esophagectomy, minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer, laparoscopic management of giant paraesophageal hernias, and applications of molecular diagnostics to staging esophageal cancer. Research efforts are currently supported by industry funded projects and NIH grant funded projects including NIH R01 "Use of Quantitative RT-PCR for Staging Esophageal Cancer." The Division is also actively involved in clinical and basic science projects of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) and Lung Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE). The SPORE is a five-year, multi-million federal grant to study lung cancer.
Faculty members are pursuing new knowledge in the following basic science and clinical areas:
Basic Science
• Quantitative RT-PCR to detect micrometastases in esophageal and lung cancer
• Predicting disease recurrence in lymph node negative esophagus cancer patients with Quantitative RT-PCR
• Identification of genes for detection of circulating tumor cells in blood using real-time RT-PCR
• Correlation of Barrett's dysplasia with underlying tumor suppressor gene mutation in patients with adenocarcinoma
• Mechanism of stricture formation after PDT
• Toxic pulmonary effects of PDT in a mouse model
• Prevention of PDT-induced esophageal stricture by overexpression of MnSOD in the esophagus (pig model)
• Preferential apoptosis of pulmonary myeloid dendritic cells (DC1) in lung cancer
• Regulatory T-cell infiltration and apoptosis of lung T cells isolated from patients with lung malignancies
