Gastric cancer: surgical approaches
Subtotal gastrectomy, 5 cm margin on tumor with D2 dissection removing >15 LNs, ex lap to look for peritoneal disease
Total gastrectomy for large or proximal/fundus lesions
Ivor-Lews esophagectomy if tumor at GEJ, Seweirt III

capecitabine 800mg BID M-F
Colorectal M1c
peritoneal metastasis
Gallbladder T2a
invades perimuscular connective tissue on peritoneal side
Anal cancer: considerations for HIV+ patients
Test CD4 and consider treatment de-escalation if CD4 count < 200
May decrease dose to 50Gy or reduce superior field border to bottom of SI joints
Ensure patient is following with ID and is on HAART
Consider concurrent cisplatin instead of mitomycin
