Radiation dose and pathological response in oesophageal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery: a multi-institutional analysis.

Conclusions: Neoadjuvant radiation dose impacts pathological response in terms of pMR in oesophageal cancer patients. No radiation dose-response effect was observed for pCR. Further prospective trials are needed to investigate the dose-response relation in terms of pCR. PMID: 31432736 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
