Effects of intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with chemotherapy had significant survival benefits compared with radiotherapy alone. Haematological toxicity was the main adverse reaction. T-stage, gross tumour volume and short-term curative effect were independent factors influencing the prognosis.PMID:38438081 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.03.001
