Abstract:
Comprehensive therapy is widely received for esophageal carcinoma in our country and worldwide. The treatment approaches consist of sugery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and chemoradiation therapy is very important. Many randomized controlled studies and meta-analysis reveal that preoperative neoad-juvant chemoradiotherapy and radical concurrent chemoradiation are the preferred modalities for local advanced esophageal carcinoma.
