Phase II Trial of Preoperative Combined Modality Therapy for Localized Esophageal Carcinoma: Cisplatin-Paclitaxel Followed by Radiation Therapy With Concurrent Cisplatin and Paclitaxel
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one drug with radiation therapy before surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery in treating patients with cancer of the esophagus that can be surgically removed.
