Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of radiation that can be given in combination with chemotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

Conditions

  • Esophageal Cancer

Interventions

RADIATION

Radiation Therapy

Simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) used in combination with a fixed dose of radiation (180 cGy in 28 fractions = 5040 Gy PTV dose). Two dose levels (210 cGy and 225 cGy each in 28 fractions) of SIB will be considered in the phase I part of the study, starting at 210 cGy in 28 daily fractions. For the phase II part of the study once the MTD has been achieved proton therapy will be allowed. Treatment dose will be identical to that of the photon treatment where the PTV is treated to 50.4 Gy(RBE) (RBE=1.1) while the CTV is boosted to 63 Gy(RBE) in 28 fractions.
