Brief Summary

Irinotecan, as one new agent used in advanced esophageal carcinoma, has been shown to be effective and safe in western studies. Different with westerns, squamous carcinoma is the main pathological type in china patients. The investigators then initiated a prospective phase II clinical trial with irinotecan/cisplatin as the 1st line treatment in advanced esophageal carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.
