stage 2 esophageal cancer :: Article Creator Surgery Plus FLOT: A Game Changer For Esophageal Cancer? Patrick Boland, MD, discussed the practice-changing implications of the phase 3 ESOPEC study comparing FLOT vs CROSS regimens for the treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma. The phase 3 ESOPEC study (NCT02509286) investigated the best approach for treating esophageal adenocarcinoma that can be surgically removed.

The chance of surviving 3 years was also higher with FLOT (57.4%) compared with CROSS (50.7%). Additionally, FLOT s...
