The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 8501 has established concurrent radiochemotherapy as the standard of care for cancer of the esophagus.However, locoregional failure remains problematic, with 25% of patients having persistence and 20% relapse of locoregional disease following the standard dose (50-50.4 Gy) chemoradiotherapy . Our previous phase I radiation dose escalation trial established the maximum tolerated dose of 86 Gy with concurrent weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin in advanced esophageal cancer.The aim of this phase II study is to examine the efficacy of this regimen.
