Abstract:
Three schemes of nonstandard combination of irradiation and surgery for esophageal cancer are presented: individual approach (IA), dynamic planning (DP), and sequential scheme (SS). In IA preoperative fractionation is adjusted to the tumor size. In DP esophageal resection is performed only in nonresponders to small-fraction 40-45 Gy radiation. In SS surgery is performed after radiation with greater than 50 Gy for residual esophageal tumor or reappearance of the tumor.
