食管癌术后同步放化疗的研究现状

目前我国可手术食管癌的初始治疗以手术为主,最佳术后治疗模式仍不明确。术后同步放化疗可最大程度改善局部控制和降低远处转移,有望成为食管癌术后患者的标准治疗。本综述对食管癌术后同步放化疗的相关研究的总结显示,术后同步放化疗可提高淋巴结阳性患者总生存,不良反应可耐受,但术后同步放化疗的获益人群、最佳放疗剂量、靶区及同步化疗方案仍有待于进一步研究。

Current status of research on concurrent chemoradiotherapy after surgery for esophageal cancer

Currently,resectable esophageal cancer is commonly initially treated with surgery in China,but the optimal postoperative treatment remains unclear.Postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy can improve local control and reduce distant metastasis and may become the preferred treatment for patients after surgery for esophageal cancer.By summarizing the studies on concurrent chemoradiotherapy after surgery for esophageal cancer,this review points out that postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy can improve the overall survival of patients with positive lymph nodes and has tolerable adverse effects,but the populations who can benefit from this treatment,the optimal radiotherapy dosage,target volume,and chemotherapy regimen of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy await further investigation.
