Executive summary
This study from Japan reported the efficacy of 44 clinical T1 esophageal cancer patients treated with concurrent chemo-proton therapy (CCPT). 43 patients (98%) achieved primary complete response. Among the 44 patients, the 3-year overall survival rate was 95.2%.
Five patients (11%) developed local recurrence. The study concluded that CCPT is an effective treatment for cT1 ESCC and careful endoscopic follow-up allows preferable local control with salvage endoscopic treatment.
