Official title
A Phase II Trial of Preoperative Radiation and Chemotherapy (Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Continuous Infusion 5-FU) for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving radiation therapy with chemotherapy and giving them before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with combination chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.
