Dose-escalated radiotherapy in esophageal cancer : A review of the literature

For non-operable, localized esophageal cancer, definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment. Currently, the radiation dose recommended is 50 to 50,4Gy. However, the optimal radiation dose remains controversial. Many studies have demonstrated that locoregional failure remains a common failure pattern, most likely to occur within the original gross tumor volume. Several retrospective studies have indicated that higher radiation dose may improve local control and survival while others failed to demonstrate improved oucomes. In three randomized trials (INT0123, ARTDECO, and CONCORDE), dose escalation did not improve locoregional control nor survival, establishing 50Gy as the standard chemoradiation dose for patients who will not undergo surgery. Here, we reviewed the results of dose escalation in the literature in the neoadjuvant and definitive settings.
