Brief summary

This study is conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Detailed description

This study is conducted to evaluate efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receive 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel 175 mg/м2 iv day 1, cisplatin 75 mg/м2 iv day 1, fluorouracil 750 mg/m2/day continuous infusion, day 1-4 every 3 weeks). Patients who do not progress with distant metastases start preoperative chemoradiotherapy (paclitaxel 50 mg/m2 + cisplatin 20 mg/m2 weekly + radiotherapy 44 Gy for 4 weeks). 4-6 weeks after completion of chemoradiation patients undergo Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy irrespectively of objective response.
