| Research Abstract |
Purpose : To compare the outcomes after esophagectomy versus those after chemoradiotherapy for potentially respectable (T2-3,NO-1,MO) esophageal cancer
Materials:
1) squamous cell carcinoma in the thoracic esophagus
2) potentially respectable cancer, cT2-3, cNO-1, cMO, cStage II-III
3) patients at a low risk for both esophagectomy and definitive chemoradiotherapy
4) no double primary cancers
5) obtaining informed consent
Methods : Patients choose one arm among the following three treatment arms after informed consent.
1) esophagectomy (S)
2) definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT)
3) neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NA) ; Patients choose surgery or non-surgical treatment after being informing of the response to the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
Results : A hundred and two patients participated in this trial, from 2003 to 2006. There were 76 patients in the esophagectomy (S) group, 18 in the definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) group, and 8 in the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NA) group.
1) S Group : There

were 59 patients who underwent Ro resection, 16 who underwent R1R2 resection, and one who underwent only exploratory thoracotomy. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year-survival rate was 81%, 56%, and 49%, respectively in the S Group.
2) CRT Group : There were 14 patients with complete response, and 4 with incomplete response. There was no patient who underwent salvage surgery. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year-survival rate was 89%, 68%, and 46%, respectively in the CRT Group.
3) NA Group : There were three patients who underwent esophagectomy, and five who did not. The 1-, and 2-year-survival rate was 50% and 50%, respectively in the NA Group.
The 1-, 2-, and 3-year-survival rate was 81%, 56%, and 49%, respectively in those patients who chose the surgical treatment at first, and was 74%, 60%, and 40%, respectively in those patients who chose the non-surgical treatment at first (the CRT Group + the NA Group)
Conclusions : The outcomes after chemoradiotherapy for potentially respectable (T2-3,NO-1,MO) esophageal cancer may be similar to those after surgery. Less
