Abstract:
The management of locally advanced esophageal carcinoma has been changed in recent years.More and more evidence confirmed the role of neoadjuvant chemoradiation plus surgery in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer.Further research should be focused on how to target the particular population sensitive to chemoradiation.This article summarizes current knowledge of related literature on combined therapy of locally advanced esophageal cancer and serves as a background for the setup of a national standarized strategy for the treatment of locally advanced esophageal carcinoma.
