A Radiation Therapy Oncology Group randomized trial (RTOG-8501) of chemotherapy and radiation therapy versus radiation therapy alone resulted in an improvement in 5-year survival for the combined modality group (27% vs. 0%).
This evidence supports the use of combined chemoradiation to improve survival outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer.
