New combo therapy aims to help advanced cancer patients swallow again
NCT ID NCT02297217
Summary
This study is testing if adding two chemotherapy drugs to a short course of radiation therapy works better than radiation alone to relieve severe swallowing problems in people with advanced, inoperable esophageal cancer. It will involve about 50 patients and focuses on improving their ability to eat and their overall quality of life. The main goal is to see if the combined treatment provides longer-lasting relief from swallowing difficulties.
