PET/CT and Esophageal cancer

Surgical resection is the most important part of a potentially curative treatment.

5-year survival rates after esophagectomy rarely exceed 40%

Combined chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is increasingly applied, either as definitive therapy or in the neoadjuvant setting prior to a curatively intended surgical resection.
