Surgery or chemo-radiation for cervical esophagus cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have resectable squamous cell cancer in the upper (cervical) esophagus
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no metastasis to M0) and may involve nearby lymph nodes
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Doctors think you can safely undergo surgery if needed (no major reason you cannot have an operation)
- Your blood counts and organ tests are high enough for treatment (including hemoglobin, white cells, platelets, liver, and kidney tests)
- You are able to do normal daily activities with mild or no limits (ECOG 0–1)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (nimotuzumab and camrelizumab) plus standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This Phase 3 trial compares different “treatments before surgery” for people with esophageal (or esophagus-to-stomach) cancer. It aims to see which approach works better to control the cancer and improve outcomes after surgery.
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 trial tests the best way to treat locally advanced squamous cell esophageal cancer: either chemoradiation followed by planned surgery, or monitoring with surgery only if needed. It may help you choose a strategy that controls the cancer while aiming to reduce unnecessary procedures.
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 studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery for esophageal squamous cell cancer can reduce the chance the cancer returns. It focuses on people whose surgery removed cancerous lymph nodes and who are healthy enough to tolerate chemotherapy.
