Brief summary
Patients with advanced esophageal cancer will receive thoracic radiation therapy 60Gy over 30 fractions,and concurrent with s-1 and nedaplatin.
Detailed description
Purpose: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD) of S-1 in combination with nedaplatin and thoracic radiotherapy in patients with advanced esophageal Cancer. Methods: Thoracic radiation therapy was administered in 2Gy fractions five times weekly to a total dose of 60 Gy.Concurrently, nedaplatin was given at a fixed dose of 75 mg/m2 on Days 1, and s-1 was given on Days 1-14,repeated every 4 weeks for four cycles. The dose of s-1 was initially 60 mg/m2/day and gradually increased to determine the MTD and RD of this regimen.
Interventions
nedaplatin was given at a fixed dose of 75 mg/m2 on Days 1, and s-1 on Days 1-14, repeated every 4 weeks for four cycles. The dose of s-1 was initially 60 mg/m2/day and gradually increased to determine the MTD and RD of this regimen.

| Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of s-1 in combination with nedaplatin and thoracic radiotherapy | 3 months per patient | the MTD will be defined as the maximum dose level at which no more than one subject out of six experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during treatment. |
