Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With Docetaxel and Cisplatin in Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal Cancer

This study is designed to determined the feasibility and safety in advanced esophageal cancer treated with docetaxel and cisplatin cocurrent chemoradiotherapy. The primary end points were clinical best response and response rate and secondary endpoints were progression free survival and overall survival.

Value of PET-CT in Radiation Treatment Planning for Patients With Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal Cancer

The RESPECT study is intended to prospectively assess the impact of PET/CT on the delineation of target volumes and to estimate the proportion of recurrences that could possibly be prevented by the use of PET/CT-based target volume, instead of CT-based. Patients will recieve radiotherapy using CT-based planning, but a PET/CT-based treatment plan will also be made. CT-based and PET/CT-based target volumes will be compared after treatment has been completed. If a locoregional recurrence takes place, the localisation will be compared to the CT-based and PET/CT based clinical target volumes (CTVs). If the local recurrence is located outside the CT-CTV but inside the PET/CT-CTV, the recurrence could possibly have been prevented with PET/CT-based radiotherapy.

Endoscopic Ultrasound Plus Submucosal Injection for Early Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal Cancer

Preoperative accurately staging T1a or T1b in early esophageal cancer is vital for the choices of treatment. At present, the main diagnostic method for early esophageal cancer is endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). However, the accuracy of EUS alone is poor. Thus, it is necessary to improve endoscopic ultrasound examination methods. This project is concerning on the efficacy of EUS combining with submucosal injection of saline for staging T1a and T1b-esophageal cancer. Patients and methods: 80 cases of pathological confirmed early esophageal cancer were randomly divided into two groups: endoscopic ultrasonography group (EUS group) and EUS combining with submucosal injecting saline group (EUS+SIS group). All the cases will be performance by endoscopic or surgical resection; postoperative pathologic diagnosis will be obtained involving echo, depth, margin and other features. The EUS results of two groups of patients will be compared with pathologic results. From comparison, the efficacy and accuracy of EUS+SIS for staging T1a and T1b in esophageal cancer patients will be validated. Through this study, the investigators may develop a routine diagnostic and accurately staging method for early esophageal cancer patients.

Endoesophageal Brachytherapy for Patients With Esophageal Cancer

Esophageal Cancer

Depending upon the cancer stage, esophageal cancer can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these modalities. Sometimes in addition to external radiation therapy or instead of external radiation therapy, select patients with esophageal cancer may benefit from localized radiation to the tumor, called esophageal brachytherapy. There are many different radiation techniques and delivery approaches for this type of specialized radiation therapy, and the purpose of this document is to provide a written summary of an innovative delivery method.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning before surgery, may help measure the extent of disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying PET/CT scanning before surgery in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, or head and neck cancer.
