Investigating a better treatment sequence for esophageal cancer

(University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus) University of Colorado Cancer Center member Martin McCarter, MD, is investigating whether a new treatment sequence will result in better outcome for patients with esophageal cancer. As they await the results of a group of clinical trials, McCarter and other CU researchers looked at data from the National Cancer Database to identify other patients who have undergone the new sequence, and what the outcomes for those patients were.
