| ER + AT vs Esophagectomy | Overall survival | Relapse-free survival | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P value | Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P value | |
| Univariate model | 0.409 (0.092–1.822) | 0.241 | 0.964 (0.380–2.446) | 0.938 |
| Multivariate model | 0.299 (0.056–1.596) | 0.158 | 1.272 (0.404–4.005) | 0.681 |
