Chemoradiation versus surgery for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection: comparison of long-term oncologic outcomes
Abstract:Background: Esophagectomy is the standard adjuvant treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) following noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, recent reports have also shown that ESD with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has promising results. This retrospective study aimed to elucidate the efficacy of CRT compared to surgery in patients with SESCC after noncurative ESD.Methods: This study retrospectively compared the long-term outcomes of patients who received a… Show more
