Abstract:
Among esophageal cancer patients who had undergone radical surgery, the overall 5-year survival rate ranges from 20% to 30%. Postoperative radiotherapy is important adjunctive and remedial treatment. However, currently, there is no clear consensus on the indication of postoperative radiotherapy, the optimal radiation fields and dose. We review and summarize the relevant studies for clinical references.
