PT May Be Safer than PF Chemoradiotherapy for LAEC

Summary

Current neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT) for locally advanced esophageal cancer (LAEC) consists of radiation with platinum/5-FU (PF) chemotherapy. However, carboplatin/paclitaxel (PT) may be a favorable chemotherapy combination with preoperative radiation. The study discussed in this article investigated whether nCRT with PT would result in better perioperative outcomes.
