“…Induction radiotherapy is an attempt to enhance radical complete resection, but induction radiation has only been reported in small retrospective series. A few studies reported that TET patients treated with preoperative radiation had variable outcomes, with R0 rates ranging from 50% to 75% ( 5 , 18 , 19 ). In this study, 12 of 81 (14.8%) patients received induction radiotherapy alone.…”

“…Indication for adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) or chemotherapy depends on the WHO-histopathological classification, local extent of disease (expressed as Masaoka-Koga stages I-IV), and completeness of resection as well as the overall clinical condition of the patient [5] . Radiation reduces the local recurrence rate when incomplete surgery is performed or in locally advanced diseases [12] , [13] , [14] . However, RT does not influence distant nor pleural out-of-field recurrences, which account for about 2/3 of all recurrences [15] .…”

“…Ancak, tam rezeke edilmemiş olgularda adjuvan RT lokal kontrol ve genel sağkalım oranlarını arttırmaktadır (7,8,14). İnkomplet rezeke hastalıkta tedavi sonuçlarının kötü olması nedeniyle, sınırda rezeke edilebilir olgularda cerrahi rezektabiliteyi ve lokal kontrolü arttırmak için neoadjuvan kemoterapi (KT) ya da RT uygulaması gündeme gelebilir, ancak kombine tedavilerin rolü net değildir (15)(16)(17).Rezidü hastalık varlığında ya da evreden bağımsız olarak tam rezeksiyon yapılamayan olgulara ise kombine tedavi yaklaşımları uygulanmalıdır. Bu olgularda kombine tedaviler tam cerrahi rezeksiyon ve genel sağkalım oranlarını arttırabilir.…”
