Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This prospective, non-randomized phase II study aims to compare radiotherapy and concurrent nimotuzumab with concurrent chemoradiotherapy to obtain a non-inferior pCR rate and pathological lymph node metastases rate in premise of lower toxicities in locally advanced esophageal cancer.

Arms (4)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Neoadjuvant nimotuzumab
- description
- Radiation：Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for an average of 4.5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. IMRT simultaneous integrated boost is used to achieve a prophylactic dosage and radical dosage of 1.8Gy and 2.14Gy once respectively. Concurrent nimotuzumab: Patients may receive nimotuzumab 400mg per week which start from 1 week before radiotherapy and in the following 4 weeks after enrollment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Assessment of surgery: Patients eligible for surgery after multiple disciplinary consultation will receive esophagectomy after a 4-6 weeks break after chemoradiation in the absence of any contraindication.
