Excerpt

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan.1 When this strategy is implemented, the therapeutic effect of NAC must be precisely evaluated because it can affect the subsequent treatment strategy. Better methods for precise determination of the therapeutic effect, the complete response (CR), and the possibility of curative resection (T4 or not) are required. …
