Cost‐effectiveness of chemoradiation followed by esophagectomy versus chemoradiation alone in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus

TL;DR: Evaluating the cost‐effectiveness of chemoradiation with and without esophagectomy in squamous cell carcinoma finds that it may reduce recurrence at the cost of treatment‐related mortality.

No Difference in Survival between Neo-Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Neo-Adjuvant Chemoradiation Therapy in Gastric Cardia Cancer Patients: A Contemporary View from the National Cancer Database.

TL;DR: NAC or NACRT yield the same survival outcome for patients with resectable gastric cardia cancer, and the need for randomized controlled trials comparing the 2 regimens head-to-head is supported.
