- Abstract
Background: With the development of chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer, the complete response (CR) rate would become an important surrogate end-point. However, the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) do not provide criteria for a response at the primary site of esophageal cancer. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of the endoscopic CR criteria for the primary site of esophageal cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy.
