متن کاملOverall survival analysis of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
BACKGROUND Patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NAC) followed by esophagectomy are more likely to have negative margins at resection, be downstaged, and have improved overall survival (OS). The specific aim of this study was to analyze OS outcomes using NAC followed by esophagectomy at a single, tertiary care academic medical center. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 106 pat...
