Compare chemoradiation with surgery for esophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two treatment approaches for certain locally advanced esophageal cancers: chemoradiation (chemo plus radiation) versus esophagus surgery. It may help find which option works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be from China (Chinese).
- You have esophageal squamous cell cancer.
- Your cancer is in the middle or lower part of the esophagus.
- Your tumor is considered operable/resectable (it can be removed with surgery if needed).
- Your cancer is in a “locally advanced” stage without distant spread to solid organs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining radiation and chemotherapy after endoscopic removal of early-stage esophageal cancer can effectively treat the cancer without needing surgery. It may be an option for people whose cancer was removed with ESD but who want to avoid additional surgery.
This study compares chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy plus radiation given before surgery for locally advanced esophagus squamous cell cancer. The goal is to see which treatment helps more people have a successful operation and better cancer control.
This trial compares surgery versus a strong combination of chemotherapy and radiation for people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has been treated first with immunotherapy. It aims to find which approach leads to better outcomes after the initial immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
This study compares two ways to treat a type of esophagus cancer: surgical removal (esophagectomy) versus chemoradiation (chemo plus radiation). It is for people with early-stage findings where scans suggest no lymph node spread.
This trial studies whether adding radiation to chemotherapy before surgery works better for people with operable (resectable) squamous cell esophageal cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by comparing two different treatment plans before the operation.
This study compares two ways to treat cervical esophagus squamous cell cancer: surgery alone versus chemo-radiation (chemotherapy plus radiation). It may help find the best approach to control the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
