Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1st registration 1. Histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma or diagnosed as esophageal cancer (EC) by endoscopy according to Japanese Classification of Esophageal Cancer, 11th Edition. Also eligible in histologically proven high grade intraepithelial neoplasia according to 10th Edition 2. cN0M0 if CT examination is performed. Also eligible without imaging examination 3. Primary tumor is located in the thoracic esophagus 4. Depth of invasion of the deepest tumor is diagnosed as cT1 EC by conventional endoscopy. But ineligible when evidently diagnosed as cEP or cLPM 5. Length of the lesion is estimated <= 5 cm in longitudinal axis 6. Aged 20 to 85 years old 7. ECOG PS of 0-2 8. No evident entire circumferential lesion for patients with PS 2 and/or aged >= 81 years old 9. Magnifying endoscopy or EUS is judged to pass through by the endoscopic examination before 1st registration. Endoscopic dilation is allowed to pass through the magnifying endoscopy or EUS 10. No prior history of thoracic radiotherapy for any cancers 11. No prior history of esophagectomy for EC 12. Prior history of ER for EC is allowed. Ineligible if the scar after ER is located within <= 10 mm from the lesion 13. No preference of chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy for primary treatment 14. Written informed consent 2nd registration 1. cN0M0 if examination is performed by CT before 2nd registration. Also eligible without imaging examination at 2nd registration 2. Depth of invasion is diagnosed as cMM or cSM by conventional and magnifying endoscopy 3. The upper end of the tumor is located at >= 2 cm from esophageal orifice, and the lower end of the tumor is located at >= 1 cm from esophagogastric junction 4. Length of the lesion is <= 5 cm in longitudinal axis 5. No entire circumferential lesion for patients with PS 2 and/or aged >= 81 years old 6. The scar after ER is located >= 10 mm from the lesion if the patient has prior history of ER

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Active infection requiring systemic therapy 2. Body temperature >= 38 degrees Celsius 3. Pregnancy, possible pregnancy within 28 days after delivery or breastfeeding 4. Severe psychiatric disease 5. Poorly controlled hypertension 6. Unstable angina within 3 weeks, or with a history of myocardial infarction within 6 months
