5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is multi-center randomized phase III one to evaluate the difference in local-control and survival rate between patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined Tarceva or not.
Detailed Description
For the esophageal carcinoma in II~III stage, routine dosage of Paclitaxel and platinum medicine chemotherapy concurrently radical radiotherapy is worthy to be studied. On this base, we advanced approach the enlarged field radiotherapy and the intervention of Tarceva. And we approach the therapeutic effect for this method theoretically, which may give a further reasonable guidance for the clinical therapy.
