Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your doctor on Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer Clinical research trials and Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all kinds of conditions, including Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer. Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects get treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and could include extra or frequent dr. calls, health hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer



Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Esophageal Cancer

For Condition: stage 1 esophageal cancer,stage 2 esophageal cancer,Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus,squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Federation Francophone de Cancerologie Digestive , GERCOR,EORTC Radiotherapy Cooperative Group,EORTC Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer Cooperative Group,Federation Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer,Societe Francaise de Radiotherapie Oncologique
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving combination chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so it can be removed during surgery. It is not yet known if surgery is more effective with or without radiation therapy and chemotherapy in treating esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery with or without radiation therapy and chemotherapy in treating patients who have esophageal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the overall survival of patients with resectable thoracic esophageal cancer treated with neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy and surgery versus surgery alone. - Compare the disease-free survival of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the surgical mortality and morbidity of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the resectability of patients treated with these regimens. - Determine the validation of new prognostic factors for survival of these patients and/or the efficacy of this neoadjuvant treatment. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology (epidermoid carcinoma vs adenocarcinoma vs undifferentiated carcinoma), stage (I vs IIA vs IIB), tumor location (above the carina vs below the carina), and participating center. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients undergo radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Patients receive fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-4 and 29-32 and cisplatin IV on days 1 or 2 and 29 or 30 (or a lower dose on days 1-5 and 29-33). Within 4-8 weeks after completion of radio-chemotherapy, patients undergo surgical resection. - Arm II: Patients undergo surgical resection. Patients are followed every 4 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 380 patients (190 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
