Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Survival

    To evaluate if the survival outcome of postsurgical radiation with a small target volume involved tumor bed only is not worse than a large volume (tumor bed and elective nodes) for patients with locoregionally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Safety and Tolerability

  • Failure pattern

Study Arms (2)

A

EXPERIMENTAL

After esophagectomy, patients in Arm A will receive Large field radiation (tumor bed + ENI (elective nodal irradiation)) + Sequential chemotherapy

Radiation: enlarge irradiation volumeDrug: cisplatinDrug: fluorouracil

B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After esophagectomy, patients in Arm B will receive small field radiation (tumor bed only) + Sequential chemotherapy

Radiation: Small volume radiationDrug: cisplatinDrug: fluorouracil

Interventions

In Arm A, postsurgical radiation target volume includes tumor bed and elective nodes area

In Arm B, postsurgical radiation target volume includes tumor bed only

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 18 and ≤70
  • Performance status 0-1
  • Weight is not less than 90% of it before operation
  • Registration within 8 weeks after esophagectomy
  • Histologically proven primary thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
  • R0 resection and number of lymph nodes dissected ≥15 after esophagectomy
  • Pathological stage of T3-4N0-3M0
  • Chest and abdominal contrast enhanced CT within 6 weeks prior to registration(PET/CT scan is selective)
  • Without supraclavicular nodes and abdominal regions nodes existed after surgery
  • Without neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy
  • WBC≥ 4.0X109/L ,Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 2.0X109/L
  • Platelets ≥ 100X109/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L(without blood transfusion)
  • AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal, Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal
  • +1 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Multiple primary esophageal tumors
  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 2 years (For example, carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, or cervix are all permissible).
  • Severe, active comorbidity, defined as follows:
  • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 3 months 3.2 Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months 3.3 Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration 3.4 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of registration 3.5 Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive.
  • Pregnancy or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception.
  • Prior systemic chemotherapy, prior radiation therapy or prior target drug therapy
