The purpose of this page is to provide references to "null therapy" such as placebo and observation. These references provide further insight into the historical development of the treatment landscape. See the main esophageal cancer page for regimens that include active anticancer treatment.

1Reported efficacy for UK MRC OE02 is based on the 2009 update.

Surgery as primary therapy; i.e., no induction chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, and no adjuvant therapy.

CALGB 9781 patients: 75% adenocarcinoma, 25% squamous cell histology. 5% with ECOG PS of 2.

CROSS patients: 75% adenocarcinoma, 23% squamous cell, 2% other. 24% gastroesophageal junction.
