Abstract:
Radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer. Under the premise of effective systemic treatment, selecting patients who may benefit from local radiotherapy can effectively relieve symptoms and improve quality of life, and it is expected to prolong the survival time of patients. Moreover, immunotherapy plays an increasingly significant role in advanced esophageal cancer, and the efficacy of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy is promising.
