Study summary

  1. Retrospective review of old patients

    • Analysis of prediction factors for concomitant chemo-radiotherapy in locally advanced and advanced esophageal cancer from 2005 to 2015
  2. Prospective case-control study: RNA sequencing \& miRNA microarray

    • naive esophageal cancer patients who have a plan to receive concomitant chemo-radiotherapy

      • acquirement of tissue, blood, clinical information
      • isolation of RNA, DNA, serum database of clinical \& demographic information

    ***Analysis of mRNA sequencing / miRNA sequencing**** first analysis of RNA sequencing: bioinformatician second analysis of RNA sequencing: principle investigator

  3. Experimental set for qPCR (esophageal tissue) study group
  4. TMA for screened exon gene
  5. validation set for qPCR (esophageal tissue)
  6. follow-up of circulating miRNA in blood (baseline blood \& post-CCRT blood 3M, 6M, 12M)
  7. Prediction model for CCRT response in esophageal Cancer based on clinical and molecular factors
  8. Validate the prediction model.

Groups and cohorts

  • Responder

    Complete Remission after chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced or advanced esophageal cancer evaluation of disease status: endoscopy, CT, and/or PET-CT

    Other: chemoradiotherapy

  • non-responder

    Progressive disease or stationary state after chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced or advanced esophageal cancer evaluation of disease status: endoscopy, CT, and/or PET-CT

Interventions

  • Otherchemoradiotherapy

    concomitant chemoradiotherpay is routine treatment in locally advanced and advanced esophageal cancer and it is not for research.
