Experimental group
control group
patients with R0 resected T≥3 or N≥1 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma began to receive chemotherapy of docetaxel combined with nedaplatin within 8 weeks after total two-field lymph node dissection. Docetaxel 75mg/m2 day 1, nedaplatin 75mg/m2 day 1, every 21 days for 4 cycles
patients with R0 resected T≥3 or N≥1 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were reviewed regularly after surgery.
