Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) in patients with borderline resectable (cT3br) thoracic esophageal cancer compared to those with resectable (cT3r) cases.
- Out of 186 patients, 68 were cT3br and showed significantly more advanced disease characteristics but had similar overall survival rates post-surgery compared to the cT3r group.
- The results suggest that NACRT could be a beneficial treatment option for patients with borderline resectable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
