Filter by:Management of elderly patient with cancer is a therapeutic challenge and a public health problem. The mean age of esophageal cancer is 64.5 years and 72.1 years in men and women respectively. Surgery is a standard treatment reserved to about 30 % of patients. The other 70 % are considered unfit for surgery for various reasons, including ageing. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is standard treatment for patients with esophageal cancer unfit for surgery. The validated treatment scheme is external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) 50 Gy over 5 weeks combined with cisplatin and 5FU infusion. However it induces high rates of severe and life threatening toxicities: grade 3 haematologic and esophageal mucositis of 20 and 25 % respectively, in patients with a median age of 64 years. CRT has not been properly evaluated in patients more than 75 years, and other combined chemotherapy are challenging.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib in Metastatic Esophageal Cancer.
Cisplatin Combined With S-1 or Paclitaxel as First-line Treatment for Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The aim of this study is to explore whether endostar combined with NVB and DDP as treatment could improve progression-free surial time (PFS) and to evaluate the safety of the chemotherapy regimens
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of adaptive radiation therapy (adaptive radiation therapy, ART) for esophageal cancer, using dose tracking technique with online images and deformable registration.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of D-CIK immune cells combined with chemotherapy after resection of esophageal cancer
To explore the significance of Solute Carrier Family 1 Member 5 (SLC1A5) in the occurrence of esophageal cancer, by comparing the expression of SLC1A5 between esophageal cancer tissues and adjacent tissues.
The therapy of photofrin PDT was effective in improving life quality of patients with advanced esophageal and/or gastric cardiac cancer and the time optimizing for employing laser irradiation was of great importance.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) on esophageal and/or gastric cardiac cancer during different time after inject photofrin.
This clinical study is designed as a phase 3,multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled study,to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with paclitaxel+cisplatin（TP) compared with TP as first-line treatment for the metastatic esophageal squamous carcinoma.
A two-arm Phase III trial was started in Oct. 2014. Definitive chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil is the standard in Western countries in esophagus cancer. But in China because of its toxic reaction, most of patients stop the halfway. The purpose of this study is to confirm the difference of 2 and 4 cycles of cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil in the definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. A total of 210 patients will be accrued from China within 2 years. The primary endpoint is overall survival and the secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, response rate, pathologic complete response rate and adverse events.
