Adjuvant radiotherapy following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and surgery in oesophageal cancer: a retrospective cohort study of survival
Following surgery for oesophageal cancer, positive circumferential resection margin (CRM) (R1), defined as margin <1mm, is an associated predictor of poor survival. The role of selective adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with R1 margin following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is unclear. We...

| Sumario: | Following surgery for oesophageal cancer, positive circumferential resection margin (CRM) (R1), defined as margin <1mm, is an associated predictor of poor survival. The role of selective adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with R1 margin following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is unclear. We investigated survival outcomes following adjuvant radiotherapy in patients undergoing NACT with R1 margin from oesophageal surgery. |
