Background 70% of patients undergoing neo-adjuvant ECX chemotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus, show little to know response in their primary tumour (Mandard 4,5). However, among these patients, those who have a complete nodal response (cN+ to ypN0) have equivalent survival to those with Mandard 1,2,3 tumours. FLOT chemotherapy has shown a survival advantage to ECX, however, rates of primary tumour response and nodal response are yet to be the focus of published study. Methods Retrospective cohort study comparing patients undergoing ECX and FLOT neoadjuvant chemotherapy between 2014 and 2021. Pathological outcomes were examined including, Mandard tumour regression grade (1-5), complete nodal response (cN+ to ypN0), clinically node negative nodal progression (cN0 to ypN+).   Results 226 patients had data available for analysis (193 ECX and 33 FLOT). 27% (52/193) of patients receiving ECX showed a response in the primary tumour (Mandard 1,2,3) compared to 63% (21/33) with patients undergoing FLOT (p &amp;lt; 0.001). Complete nodal response rates were 25% in ECX patients and 21% FLOT patients (p = 0.556). Clinically node negative nodal upstaging (cN0 to pN+) was higher among FLOT patients 30% (13/33) than ECX patients 12% (24/193) (p &amp;lt; 0.001). Conclusions FLOT chemotherapy confers improved primary tumour response. However, these findings were not echoed in locoregional nodal responses. Survival advantages with FLOT may result from improved responses in primary tumour and not improved systemic coverage. More data will be needed to explore this and over-come the confounding effect of staging inaccuracies. However, understanding systemic and loco-regional responses of different chemotherapy regimens will be needed to tailor future neoadjuvant treatment regimens.
