Curative Effect of Combination of DDP,PYM and Radiotherapy on Mid-and Advanced-Esophageal Carcinoma

Purpose: Curative effect of combination of chemotherapy (DDP+PYM) and radiotherapy on mid-and advancedesophageal carcinoma was studied. Method:Patients whowere diagnosed pathologically as esophageal carcinoma were divided randomly into twogroups. One group of patients (29 cases) received chemoradiotherapy. Another groupof patients (31 cases) received radiotherapy only. All about sex, age and living situationof patient, location and length of lesion and distant metastasis in two groups were comparable. Result: Group of Chemoradiotherapy (CR44.8%, total Effective Rate 86.2%)had higner curative effect than Group of Radiotherapy only (CR32.2%, total EffectiveRate (70.9%) P0.05. Survival Rates for 1、2and 3 years in Group of Chemoradiotherapy were 75.8%, 48.3% and 37.9% respectively which were much higher than thatin Group of Radiotherapy only (5l.6%, 29.0% and 19.4% respectively). P0.05. Conclusion : The curative effect of combination of chemtherapy and radiotherapy wasmuch better than that of radiotherapy only on esophageal carcionma.
