Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Interventions

radiotherapy: 50Gy (2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 days a week)

| Disease-free survival (DFS) | From date of randomization to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years | From the date of randomization to the date of first observation of disease progression, or relapse, or death due to any cause。 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival (OS) | From date of randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years | From the date of randomization until the date of death |
| treatment-related toxicities | From the date of randomization until six months after treatment completion | Toxicities were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCICTC), version 3.0 |
| Quality of life(QOL) | 1 year | Quality of life of patient will be evaluated using EORTC QLQ-C30. Evaluation of quality of life will be performed every 3 months. |
