Chemoradiation, Chemotherapy Effect, Esophagus Cancer, Radiotherapy Side Effect
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this observational study is to retrospectively collect survival data for 3000 primary esophageal cancer patients from multicenter between January 2000 to present. Based on a Cox model, we want to develope a nomogram that predicts local recurrence, distant metastases, and survival for patients treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy with or without chemotherapy.
