Double-Duty chemo attack aims to wipe out tumors before surgery
NCT ID NCT04028167
Summary
This study is testing a new, two-step treatment plan for people with a type of cancer where the esophagus meets the stomach. The goal is to shrink the tumor as much as possible before surgery. First, patients receive a strong combination of chemotherapy drugs (called FLOT). Then, they receive a second round of chemotherapy combined with radiation. Researchers hope this more intense approach will kill more cancer cells and lead to better long-term survival after surgery.
