Abstract
Our single-institutional experience indicated that while induction CRT produced greater complete pathological response than Ch, it also increased the risk of post-operative complications. With careful patient selection, induction Ch followed by adjuvant radiotherapy may provide comparable survival outcomes to induction CRT. Since induction Ch is associated with lower risk of complications, it may be a particularly desirable choice for patients with impaired performance status.
