ABSTRACT
Esophageal carcinoma is one of the most common human cancers in China. Radiotherapy plays an important role in combination therapy of esophageal carcinoma. With regret, there is still no unified standard for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma in China, and there are many controversies in the treatment regimens, indications, methods and efficacy. Clinically, the clinical practice guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) of the United States were often consulted, but the data of them were mainly from the patients from Europe and America, and they might not be applicable for Chinese patients. In order to standardize clinical process of radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma in China, the Esophageal Carcinoma Cooperative Group of Radiation Oncology Society of Chinese Medical Association wrote a consensus and controversies on the radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma (draft) after years of research and discussion. We hope it be tried out and discussed with advice and valuable suggestions, in order to accelerate the process of standardization of esophageal carcinoma treatment in China.
