Summary

In the majority of patients with esophageal cancer local tumor infiltration and/or distant metastases are responsible for the poor prognosis. Therefore to improve life expectancy additional modalities — chemotherapy alone or in combination with simultaneous radiation — have been introduced perioperatively. In spite of a possible increase of resectability convincing data are lacking which could argue for an uncontrolled introduction of the neoadjuvant approach outside investigational studies in early tumor stages (T1, T2).

Zusammenfassung

Für die Mehrzahl der Patienten mit Oesophaguscarcinomen sind lokale Tumorinfiltrationen und/oder Fernmetastasen bei der Diagnosestellung für die ungünstige Prognose verantwortlich zu machen. Zu deren Verbesserung werden zusätzliche Therapiemodalitäten — Chemotherapie allein oder in Kombination mit simultaner Strahlentherapie — perioperativ eingesetzt. Trotz einer möglichen Steigerung der Resektionsrate fehlen bisher überzeugende Ergebnisse, die in frühen Tumorstadien angesichts der gesteigerten Toxizität einen Einsatz dieser multimodalen Therapiestrategie außerhalb von kontrollierten Studien erlauben.
