Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of symptoms [odynophagia, chest-back pain, dysphagia, regurgitation]

    Symptoms were graded using the IAEA scoring system. Values range from 0 (no symptom) to 4 (severe symptom).

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Acute radiation toxicity]

    1 year

  • Assessment of the Performance Status

    1 year

  • Assessment of the Overall Survival

    1 year

Study Arms (1)

Short course radiotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

The radiotherapy is delivered over 2 days with accelerated hypo-fractionation and 2D-technique.

Radiation: Short course radiotherapy

Interventions

Short course radiotherapyRADIATION

An accelerated hypo-fractionation 2D-radiotherapy is delivered for palliation in patients with advanced esophageal cancer.
