Abstract:Background Prediction of response to chemoradiotherapy is critical for the optimal management of oesophageal cancer, yet it is still an unmet clinical need. This study aims to evaluate the predictive potential of peri-treatment peripheral blood cells (PBC) in disease progression hazard in oesophageal cancer following chemoradiotherapy.Methods 87 patients with primary oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma were subjected to definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy in a phase II trial. PBC parameters (haemoglobin, n… Show more
