Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Esophagus
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Esophageal Cancer
In brief
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
