| Core Tip |
We evaluated a large cancer database of metastatic esophageal cancer cases to identify predictors of receipt to chemotherapy and survival. We confirmed that although palliative, receipt of chemotherapy in metastatic esophageal cancer conferred an overall survival (OS) benefit over no chemotherapy. However, the benefit of this OS benefit with chemotherapy is time-dependent and favors early initiation. Furthermore, several socioeconomic and clinicopathologic factors were predictive for receipt of chemotherapy and OS in this cohort. |
