Intraluminal brachytherapy boost following external beam radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy of oesophagus carcinoma: Results of a prospective observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: With the concept that high tumoricidal dose for adequate tumor control achieved by intraluminal brachytherapy as a mean of dose escalation, while sparing surrounding normal tissue and potentially improving therapeutic ratio, external beam radiotherapy followed by intraluminal brachytherapy could be a better choice for oesophagus carcinoma.
