119 operable patients with an oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma were treated preoperatively by a combination of radiotherapy (37 Gy in two courses) and chemotherapy by cisplatin (delivered before each course of radiation). The response was evaluated on the resected specimen. 111 patients underwent operation and 101 tumours were resected. The toxicity was acceptable by reducing the Cisplatin dosage from 100 mg/m2 to 80 mg/m2 for the last 67 patients. A complete response was observed in 24 patients and a partial response in 46. The preliminary results show a 57% eighteen-month survival in the group of resected patients. A controlled study is needed to compare this combined regimen versus surgery alone in curatively resectable patients.
