Brief Summary

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

The effect of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy on survival of patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas remains the most controversial part of neo-adjuvant therapy for esophageal carcinomas. One of our objectives is to evaluate whether the neo-adjuvant therapy with cisplatin and paclitaxel followed by right thoracic approach esophagectomy with total 2-field lymph node dissection improves the overall survival of thoracic esophageal cancer patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The effect of Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy on survival of patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas remains the most controversial part of Neo-adjuvant therapy for esophageal carcinomas. Therefore, the optimal management of resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinomas differs widely among different areas based on local randomized controlled trials.

The neo-adjuvant chemotherapy might be a good strategy if sufficient local control is achieved by surgical treatment. This study defined the detail of surgery procedure and the region of lymphadenectomy and adopted cisplatin and paclitaxel as neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens. We try to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this neo-adjuvant strategy.

Study Groups

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

Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy group

Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy(cisplatin and paclitaxel):

1. Paclitaxel, 175mg/m2, d1, Cisplatin, 25mg/m2, d2-d4, 3 week, 2 cycles.
2. Paclitaxel, 87.5mg/m2, d1,d8, Cisplatin, 25mg/m2, d2-d4, 3 week, 2 cycles.

Surgery:

2-3weeks after Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy

1. Surgeons: the operation shall be performed by senior thoracic surgeons. Try to achieve the consistency of operation quality.
2. Operation: the thoracic esophagectomy must be through right thoracic cavity. (open and minimally invasive McKeown or Ivor Lewis). Total two-field lymphadenectomy (right and left recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes must be included).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

cisplatin and paclitaxel
