Purpose: To evaluate the pathologic complete response (CR) rate and safety of paclitaxel poliglumex (PPX), cisplatin, and concurrent radiation for patients with esophageal cancer.Patients and Methods: Patients with adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction with no evidence of distant metastasis received PPX (50 mg/m(2)/wk) and cisplatin (25 mg/m(2)/wk) for 6 weeks with 50.4 Gy concurrent radiation. Six to eight weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients underwent surgical resection.Results: Forty patients were enrolled, 37 patients with adenocarcinoma and 3 patients with squamous cell cancer. The treatment-related grade 3 nonhematologic toxicities included esophagitis (7%), nausea (7%), and fatigue (5%). Three patients with clinical endoscopic CR (2 with squamous cell cancer) refused surgery. Twelve of the remaining 37 patients (32%) had a pathologic CR. The 12 patients with pathologic CR all had adenocarcinoma.Conclusion: PPX, cisplatin, and concurrent radiation are well tolerated, easily administered regimen for esophageal cancer with a low incidence of significant esophagitis and a high pathologic CR rate consistent with the preclinical data of PPX and radiation.
