Abstract Background: Since the development of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), no prospective study has investigated whether concurrent chemoradiotherapy (SIB-IMRT with 60 Gy) remains superior to radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) alone for unresectable esophageal cancer (EC). Furthermore, the optimal therapeutic regimen for patients who cannot tolerate concurrent chemoradiotherapy is unclear. We recently completed a phase I/II radiation dose-escalation trial using simultaneous integrated boost (SIB), elective nodal irradiation, and concurrent chemotherapy for unresectable EC. We now intend to conduct a prospective, phase III, randomized study of SIB-IMRT with or without concurrent chemotherapy. We aim to find a safe, practical, and effective therapeutic regimen to replace the conventional segmentation (1.8– 2.0 Gy) treatment mode (radiotherapy ± chemotherapy) for unresectable EC.
