New attack on advanced cancers: zapping tumors early to boost survival

NCT ID NCT03161522

Summary

This study is for people with esophageal or stomach cancer that has spread to only a few other places in the body. It compares two approaches: standard chemotherapy alone versus a more aggressive strategy that adds targeted radiation and possibly surgery to the chemotherapy. The goal is to see if attacking the main tumor and its few spread-out spots early can help patients live longer than just using drugs throughout the body.
