Abstract
Background Standard chemoradiotherapy (CRT) using 5-FU and CDDP is the optimal treatment for patients with stage II/III (non-T4) esophageal carcinoma. However, patient quality of life (QOL) cannot necessarily be maintained during this therapy, because 5-FU must be continuously infused for 24 h and CDDP administration requires a large transfusion volume. Therefore, hospitalization is unavoidable. We conducted a study of definitive CRT with S-1 and nedaplatin.
