Trial Summary
This study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with oesophageal cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and undergone curative surgery. You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or above and have histologically or cytologically proven adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus or oesophagastric junction. All participants will receive adjuvant cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (CF) chemotherapy intravenously every 3 weeks for 12 weeks (4cycles). The intervention will start within 8-10weeks after the neoadjuvant CRT and surgery. Participants will be followed every 3weeks before each chemotherapy treatment for 12 weeks to determine the feasibility and safety of adjuvant CF chemotherapy . After completion of treatment, follow up would be every 3months for 3 years to the 1 year and 3 years disease free survival.
