Abstract：Objective To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of sodium glycididazole( CMNa) combined with concurrent ra-diochemotherapy(CRT) for locally advanced esophageal cancer. Methods From June 2012 to November 2013, 87 patients pathologically confirmed as esophageal cancer were randomized into CMNa+CRT group(n=44) and CRT group(n=43). Radiotherapy was given by 6 MV X-ray on conventional schedule(2. 0Gy/f, 5 fractions a week, DT 50Gy). CMNa was given intravenously 800mg/m2, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 0-3h before radiation. Chemotherapy regimen contained cisplatin 12. 5mg/m2 iv d1-d5 , and fluorouracil 450mg/m2 iv d1-d5 with 28 days of a cycle for 2 cycles. Results All patients were evaluable. Patients in CMNa+CRT group achieved 31 CR, 8 PR, 4 SD, 1 PD, and responce rate(RR) was 90. 7%;While in CRT group,patients got 25 CR,7 PR, 9 SD, 2 PD, and RR was 74. 4%. There were significant differences between RR of the two groups(P=0. 043). Main side effects were grade 1-2 bone marrow inhibition, hepatic dyfunction, radioactive esophagitis and radioactive pneumonia, with no differences(P>0. 05).The 1-year survival rates were 90. 0% and 83. 3% in CMNa+CRT group and CRT group with no differences( P>0. 05) . Conclusion CMNa combined with CRT for lo-cally advanced esophageal cancer can improve healing efficacy obviously and do not cause severe side effects.
