New combo therapy aims to shrink tumors before esophageal cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT03784326

Summary

This study is testing whether adding immunotherapy drugs to standard chemotherapy before surgery can better control cancer in the esophagus or where the stomach meets the esophagus. The goal is to shrink the tumor as much as possible before an operation to remove it. Researchers are looking at how well the treatment works and how safe it is for patients with localized cancer that hasn't spread to distant parts of the body.
