The value of radiotherapy or chemotherapy after intubation for advanced esophageal carcinoma--a prospective randomized trial

E U Schmid et al. Radiother Oncol. 1993 Jul.

Abstract

After intubation for advanced, inoperable squamous carcinoma of the oesophagus, a prospectively controlled randomized trial was done to investigate the effect of radiotherapy (41 patients) or mono-chemotherapy (40 patients) or no further treatment (46 patients). Treatment had no significant effect on either palliation or survival (p < or = 0.7) and did not alter the natural history of the disease.
