Abstract
Objective: The efficacy and safety of definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) for elderly patients with unresectable esophageal cancer (EC) are not yet fully understood. We conducted this study to evaluate the outcome and toxicity in elder patients (65 years and over) of unresectable EC treated with dCRT.
