Study of Docetaxel or Vinorelbine Plus Cisplatin in Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer (NEOCRTEC308)

Summary

The primary objective is to compare docetaxel plus cisplatin (DP) versus vinorelbine plus cisplatin (NP) in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, in terms of the overall survival and toxicity in patients with Stage IIB or III squamous cell esophageal carcinoma.
