Overview

Chemotherapy is used to treat advanced esophageal cancer. Chemotherapy can be used alone as monotherapy or in combination with radiotherapy or surgery. Chemotherapy may be used as a neoadjuvant therapy after surgery to kill any cancerous cells that may have been left, or as an adjuvant therapy to shrink a tumor before being surgically resected, and finally, in advanced tumors to shrink them or to relieve symptoms.


Medical Therapy

  • Some common drugs and drug combinations used to treat advanced esophageal cancer include:
    • Carboplatin and paclitaxel
      • combined with radiation
    • Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)
      • combined with radiation
    • ECF: epirubicin, cisplatin, and 5-FU
      • especially for gastroesophageal junction tumors
    • DCF: docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-FU
    • Cisplatin with capecitabine
    • Oxaliplatin and either 5-FU or capecitabine
    • Irinotecan
    • For some esophagus cancers that are HER-2 positive, chemo may be used along with the targeted drug trastuzumab or ramucirumab.
