Abstract

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical surgery is the standard treatment for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan. However, some adverse events associated with NAC may result in a decrease in physical fitness that may influence the patient's ability to tolerate surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of NAC on physical fitness, physical activity, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with ESCC.
