Le cancer de l'œsophage est-il devenu chimiosensible? Intérêt d'une combinaison de deux sels de platine (carboplatine et cisplatine) et de fluoro-uracile

In order to evaluate the efficacy of a regimen using the dose -intensity of platinum compounds combined with 5 - FU we included 27 patients with advanced oesophageal cancer. Toxicity was mainly hematological but manageable. This regimen seems interesting in neoadjuvant and palliative circumstances (objective overall response of 85 % and 70 % respectively).
