Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to show if the adoptive cellular therapy with autologous dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) combined with concurrent chemoradiation could improve the quality of life of the patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, compared with concurrent chemoradiation only.

concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus DC-CIK immunotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Radiotherapy:Patients will be conducted CT simulation, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) or Intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)was performed. 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions a week, with a total dose of 60-66Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.

Chemotherapy: Patients will be concurrently administered with irradiation every 4 weeks with PT regimen (cis-platinum of 20 mg/m2/d, d2-5; PTX(paclitaxel)of 80mg/m2/d, d1,d8) for 4 cycles.The chemotherapy will be concurrently given with irradiation.

DC-CIK Immunotherapy:Mononuclear cells were collected aseptically with blood cell separator composition apheresis 3 days before concurrent chemoradiation, and cultured DC-CIK cells for 10 days. Cells were infused back to the patients in 3 times between the Chemoradiation intermittent period.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced esophageal carcinoma
* Age: \> 18
* Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70
* At least one measurable tumor lesions according to the RECIST criteria.
* Normal functions of heart, lung, liver, kidney and bone marrow
