Abstract:
Objective To analyze the result of late course accelerated hyperfractionation (LCAFR) and three dimensional conformal radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy (LCAFR+C)on stage Ⅲ esophageal carcinoma. Methods Ninety-eight patients with stage Ⅲ esophageal carcinoma were divided randomly into two groups:1. LCAFR group: patients were treated with conventional fractionated radiotherapy during the first two-thirds of the treatment to a dose of 40?Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks, then followed by LCAFR with reduced fields using three dimensional conformal radiotherapy to a dose of 15-24?Gy over 7-12 days, 1.5Gy per fraction, to the total dose of 55-64?Gy in 30～36 fractions over 35-40 days. 2. LCAFR+C group:The radiotherapy schedule was the same as the LCAFR group,but with concurrent chemotherapy of DDP 20?mg d1-5, LF 200?mg and 5-Fu 500?mg d 6-10 , 28 days in one cycle to totally 5 cycles. Results The 1-, 2-, and 3-year actuarial survival rates were 73%, 53%, 35% and 76%, 73%, 55% respectively (? 2=4.12,P
