Summary

This is a randomized noninferiority multicenter trial. Patients will be stratified according to the participating hospital. Patients will be randomized to one of the treatment arms.

Arm A: Patients will receive surgical resection, including Ivor Lewis esophagectomy or McKeown esophagectomy and systematic lymphadenectomy.

Arm B: Patients will receive 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin-based chemotherapy concurrently with radiotherapy. Patients will receive cisplatin (45\~60mg/m2) intravenously over 1 hour on day 1 and receive 5-FU (3,200 \~ 4,000mg/m2) intravenously for 4 to 5 days. Treatment will repeat every 3 weeks for 2 courses. Patients will receive a total of 45 Gy irradiation (5 days a week for 5 weeks).

Patients will be followed at 3 and 6 months after randomization, then every 6 months for following 2 and half years (up to 3 years after randomization), and 4 and 5 years after randomization. After 5 years, annual follow-up is scheduled up to 10 years after randomization.

We will analyze the results primarily with the intention-to-treatment(ITT) analysis, and then secondarily with the per-protocol(PP) analysis as well.
