Abstract:
Neoadjuvant therapy refers to preoperative adjuvant treatment based on the experiences of successful postoperative adjuvant treatment. The neoadjuvant therapy, which aims at increasing the possibility of cancer resection and improving patients survival, includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvanl radiother-apy and neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation may be the preferred neoadjuvant modality to increase resection rate and improve survival rate in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.
