Definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) is reflecting a treatment standard in oesophageal cancer. For irresectable localised tumours and for inoperable patients, dCRT can change the treatment intent from palliative to curative. In patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), in particular in those of cervical location, dCRT is a proper alternative for treatment that may include radical surgery. Patients with localised locoregional recurrence after primary surgery can survive for long-term after salvage CRT.
根治性放化疗(dCRT)是食管癌的一种治疗标准。对于无法切除的局部肿瘤和无法手术的患者,dCRT可将治疗目的从姑息性转变为根治性。在鳞状细胞癌(SCC)患者中,尤其是宫颈部位的患者,dCRT是一种合适的治疗选择,其治疗可能包括根治性手术。初次手术后局部区域复发的患者在挽救性放化疗后可长期存活。
