2010, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology PhysicsCitation Excerpt :This supports the use of generous proximal and distal margins for esophageal cancer. However, in two different studies (15, 16), there were few instances of margin failure and failure outside the radiation field when a 5-cm, longitudinal margin was added. In our study, in which we used 3-cm proximal and distal margins, no failure in the esophagus occurred outside the CTV.
A Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Toxicity and Efficacy of Accelerated Fractionation Radiotherapy for the Palliation of Dysphagia from Carcinoma of the Oesophagus
2008, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :The answer to this question remains elusive in the absence of relevant randomised trials where the primary treatment objective is palliation and dysphagia relief. Once a day conventional fractionation schedules using between 20 Gy in five fractions and 70 Gy in 35 fractions have been reported to provide response rates of 41–93%, with a duration of response between 2.75 and 9 months, and a median duration of survival in the order of 6–14 months [4,10–27]. Direct comparisons between conventional radiotherapy and the accelerated fractionation regimen using a randomised control design [28–32] have focused predominantly on its effect on survival in patients with localised disease, with two studies detecting a survival benefit in favour of the accelerated regimen [28,32].
