Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This Phase II randomized study is to determine the efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(ESCC) by assessing their weight, nutritional status, performance status and treatment response.

- description
- One or two weeks before CCRT, all patients will undergo a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to be administered enteral nutrition support(30-35 kcal/kg of energy, 1.2-1.5g/kg of protein and electrolyte supplementation each day). Nutritional supplements will be administered till 1 month after CCRT. All patients will receive definitive radiotherapy combined with three cycles of S-1 (40mg/2, BID, po) on D1-14, D22-35, D43-56.
