Brief summary
This study was designed to predict the toxicity and efficacy of Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity-modulated Chemoradiotherapy in Upper Thoracic I-IVA Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Interventions
Using IMRT technology, two fields are irradiated synchronously, prescription radiation dose: 50.4 Gy/28F in PTV-C, 1.8 Gy per fraction; 63 Gy/28F in PTV-G, 2.25 Gy per fraction. Six times of concurrent DP week regimen chemotherapy: cisplatin 20mg/m2 qw plus docetaxel 20mg/m2 qw.
