An esophageal cancer clinical trial - ES3
The purpose of this study is to find out if the approach of avoiding or delaying surgery in patients who have a good response to treatment with chemotherapy and radiation is as good as the usual approach for your esophageal cancer and provides better quality of life.
This new approach could reduce the number of patients who need surgery for their esophageal cancer by limiting surgery to only those who are found to need it. Treatment without surgery might improve the quality of life for these patients.
