Figure 1From: The effectiveness of endoscopic submucosal dissection followed by chemoradiotherapy for superficial esophageal cancer The overall survival rates of the ESD-CRT (n = 16) and dCRT (n = 31) patients. ESD-CRT: endoscopic submucosal dissection + chemoradiotherapy; dCRT: definitive chemoradiotherapy. The 3-year overall survival rate of the dCRT group (63.2%) was lower but not significantly different (p = 0.118) from that of the ESD-CRT group (90.0%).Back to article page
