In most combined-modality trials to date, chemotherapy regimens have included cisplatin, usually in conjunction with 5-fluorouracil.\n\nIn designing the regimen, the investigators attempt to improve on the standard cisplatin\u002F5-fluorouracil regimen in several ways. First, full-dose paclitaxel is added to the regimen. This agent has activity against advanced esophageal cancer and is also a potent radiosensitizer. Second, the substitution of carboplatin for cisplatin has resulted in reduced toxicity of various combination regimens similar to that used by CROSS trial and allows for easier administration in the outpatient setting.4 Third, for localized esophageal cancer, dose distribution patterns achievable with proton beam could potentially offer important clinical advantages relative to those achievable with x-rays (photons).19 Based on this, the investigators believe that this study should be conducted with the radiation modality that offers the best dosimetry achievable at our institution.",null,[19],"Esophagus Cancer",[],"INTERVENTIONAL","TREATMENT",[24],"NA",{"count":26,"type":27},38,"ESTIMATED",[29],{"type":30,"name":31,"armGroupLabels":32},"RADIATION","Proton radiation",[31],[34],{"measure":35,"timeFrame":36},"To assess overall survival of patients treated with proton-chemotherapy (PCT) followed by surgery in patients with resectable primary esophageal or esophagogastric cancer","The major analysis for reporting the initial results of treatment will be undertaken when each patient has been potentially followed for a minimum of 3 months",[38],{"measure":39,"timeFrame":36},"Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability","ALL","18 Years",false,{"inclusion":44,"exclusion":51,"raw_text":52},[45,46,47,48,49,50],"Pathologically confirmed primary squamous cell or adenocarcinoma of the esophagus that involves the mid, distal or esophagogastric junction.
