The results of chemotherapy for patients with esophagogastric carcinoma have generally been modest but regimens developed more recently have produced higher response rates, and rekindled interest in neoadjuvant chemotherapy. One such regimen is epirubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (ECF). This study evaluates its efficacy, toxicity, impact on quality of life (QL), and impact on survival in a large consecutive series of patients with metastatic and locally advanced disease (LAD).
