Abstract
From 1991 to 1994 we performed a phase II study with intensive preoperative chemoradiation in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. We now report on a multivariate analysis of prognostic factors based on the long-term results at a median follow-up of 6.5 years.Keywords
