    Abstract:
    We report three cases of esophageal carcinoma all of which achieved a pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (CF). All three patients were men with clinical stage II squamous cell carcinoma of the middle thoracic esophagus. We administered 2 courses of CF treatment as NAC and then performed radical esophagectomy. Pathologic examination revealed no viable tumor cells in the resected esophagus. The patients are currently alive with no evidence of disease.
