Application Of Neoadjuvant Therapy In Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer

The pathological type of esophageal cancer in Asia is mainly squamous cell carcinoma.For patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer,traditional simple radical surgery is difficult to obtain satisfactory results.In order to improve the therapeutic effect of esophageal cancer,exploring new comprehensive treatment models becomes inevitable to obtain more high clinical efficiency and complete pathological response rate.In recent years,a large number of clinical randomized studies have shown that the comprehensive therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant therapy combined surgery is more positive.The combination of neoadjuvant therapy and radical surgical resection can increase the R0 resection rate and improve the prognosis to a certain extent.However,the means to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy still needs further exploration.The aim of this artical is to introduce the progress of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer.
