Abstract

Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) are becoming important parts for research of treatment in esophageal carcinoma patients.The advances of dosimetric study in 3D-CRT,IMRT of esophageal carcinoma and the evaluation indices are reviewed.
