Official title
A Phase II Trial of Induction Chemotherapy With Epirubicin, Oxaliplatin and Fluorouracil (EOF) Followed by Esophagogastrectomy and Post-operative Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With Fluorouracil and Cisplatin, in Patients With Loco-regionally Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus, Gastroesophageal Junction and Gastric Cardia
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy works in treating patients with locoregionally advanced cancer of the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, or stomach.
