Summary

The aims of the study are to reduce acute radiation induced side effects, i.e. pneumonitis and esophagitis grade II or higher by the use of proton therapy compared to photon radiotherapy of equal total dose. Secondary endpoints include evaluation of quality of life, loco-regional control, survival and late radiation induced side effects.
