Brief Summary

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

Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells show cytolytic activity against tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining Radiation therapy with adoptive cellular therapy after surgery may be more effective than uses radiation therapy alone in treating esophageal cancer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Only radiation therapy

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 50Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Only radiation therapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

Patients only radiation therapy after surgery

Radiation therapy plus DC-CIK cellular therapy

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 50Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.

DC-CIK cellular therapy:Mononuclear cells were collected aseptically with blood cell separator composition apheresis 3 days before radiation, and cultured DC-CIK cells for 10 days. Cells were infused back to the patients in 3 times between the radiation 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 esophageal carcinoma
* Tumor extension beyond muscularis propria and/or nodal involvement without evidence of M1 disease
* Prior en bloc resection, with curative intent, of all known tumor
* No metastatic disease
* Age: \> 18
* Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70
* At least 3 weeks since prior surgery
* Normal functions of heart, lung, liver, kidney and bone marrow
* Blood exams qualified for chemotherapy, which included hemoglobulin ≥9 g/dl, neutrophil ≥1.5×109/L and platelet (PLT) ≥100×109/L, creatinine ≤1.5 UNL
* All patients must be evaluated by a radiation oncologist prior to enrollment to ensure patient is appropriate for radiotherapy
* Informed consent signed

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with metastatic disease.
* Patients who are pregnant or nursing.
* Patients with poor bone marrow, liver and kidney functions, which would make radiation therapy intolerable
