Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Phase I 1) Esophageal cancer which was treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (>=50Gy) 2) Patients with definitive local failure who refuse salvage surgery or have physical complications that would have made surgery intolerable. 3) local failure was limited within uT2 4) local failure lesion do not involve to cervical esophagus 5)length of failure lesion is 3cm or less, and circumference is 1/2 or less of the lumen 6) Within two lesions 7) absent of distant or lymph node metastasis requiring systemic chemotherapy 8) endoscopically proved local failure, and histologically confirmation is not essential. 9) Performance status (ECOG) of 0 to 2 10) adequate organ functions 11) Written informed consent Phase II 1) Esophageal cancer which was treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (>=50Gy) 2) Patients with histologically confirmed local failure who refuse salvage surgery or have physical complications that would have made surgery intolerable. 3) local failure lesion staging limited within uT2 4) local failure lesion do not involve to cervical esophagus 5)length of failure lesion is 3cm or less, and circumference is 1/2 or less of the lumen 6) Within two lesions 7) absent of distant or lymph node metastasis 9) Performance status (ECOG) of 0 to 2 10) adequate organ functions 11) Written informed consent
