Abstract
Pretreatment assessment in patients with cancer of the gastroesophageal junction involves the evaluation of physiological status and tumor stage. Nutritional status is a prognostic and predictor factor of response to treatment; assessment involves the calculation of weight loss and the determination of serum albumin. Renal, cardiac, and pulmonary functions are evaluated (urea, creatinine, calculation of clearance, liver function tests, electrocardiogram, pulmonary function). The performance status (Karnofsky or WHO) is an important prognostic factor. The assessment of tumor stage involves the digestive endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography, CT thoraco-abdomino-pelvic injection, and PET-FDG. Laparoscopy is performed only when peritoneal involvement is suspected.
Résumé
Le bilan préthérapeutique d’un patient porteur d’un cancer de la jonction oesogastrique comporte l’évaluation de son état physiologique et une estimation du stade tumoral. L’état nutritionnel est un facteur pronostique et prédictif de réponse au traitement, son évaluation associe le calcul de la perte de poids et le dosage de l’albumine sérique. En l’absence d’antécédent particulier, les fonctions rénale, cardiaque et respiratoire sont évaluées de manière simple (urée, créatinine, calcul de la clairance, bilan hépatique, électrocardiogramme, exploration fonctionnelle respiratoire [EFR]). L’index d’activité quotidienne (Karnofsky ou OMS) est un important facteur pronostique. L’évaluation du stade tumoral associe l’endoscopie et l’échoendoscopie (EE) digestive, la tomodensitométrie (TDM) thoracoabdominopelvienne avec injection, la tomographie à émission de positron (PET) au 18fluorodéoxyglucose (FDG) et, en cas de doute d’envahissement péritonéal, la laparoscopie.
