Results: The average age was 55.8; male ratio was 97.5%; main symptoms were dysphagia 90%, chest pain 40%; average tumor length 4.82±1.1 cm; preoperative disease stage IIb, III, IVa were 5%, 85%, 10% respectively; average post-radiotherapy recovery time to surgery was 40.2 ± 12.5 days; complete clinical response 57.5%; complete paraclinical response 32.5%; complete pathological response (ypT0N0M0) 37.5%. There was no correlation between response rate and age, tumor length, tumor stage with p>0.05; the duration of post-radiotherapy recovery and response rate showed statistically significant correlation with p<0.05.
