  • Title: [Radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of oesophageal carcinoma].
    Author: Mariette C, Triboulet JP.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 2004 Nov; 129(9):489-96. PubMed ID: 15556577.
    Abstract:
    Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the three major arms of treatment for cancer of the oesophagus, and combined modality therapy is required to treat advanced disease. Exclusive chemoradiotherapy is a feasible option for locoregionally advanced disease in responder patients. Elective surgery as a palliative procedure should not be regarded as a standard option in patients with metastatic or non-resectable oesophageal cancer. Surgery appears more and more as an adjuvant therapy in the curative treatment of oesophageal cancer, especially for advanced tumours.
