Abstract:
Accurate simulation is the key of improve local control rates for radiotherapy esophageal carcinoma. CT simulation is an excellent tool that advances our capabilities of 3-D conformal radiation therapy so that higher radiation dose can be delivered to the target with a corresponding expectation of increased tumor control, possibly combined with a decrease in morbidity for radiotherapy esophageal carcinoma. PET/CT has an advantage in delineation of lateral extension of esophageal tumor, has more values for simulation in radiotherapy esophageal.
