Popis:	The prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer treated with esophagectomy alone is disappointing. To improve these results, the addition of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to surgery has been proposed. Since 1992, we have enrolled patients with locally-advanced squamous-cell esophageal carcinoma in two successive studies to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of preoperative chemotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy plus radiotherapy.
