Abstract:Patients with locally advanced and potentially curable esophageal cancer (EC) should receive trimodality treatment, which involves neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by esophagectomy. The maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) in SUV of 18FDG-PET/CT have been reported to be useful in predicting the prognosis of EC patients treated with nCRT and subsequent esophagectomy. We aimed to determine the pathological response in patients with EC after trimodality therapy and to investigate the pro… Show more
