Abstract

Twelve patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled to evaluate the safety and efficacy of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Dose-limiting toxicity was mainly observed at Capecitabine 1500 mg. The maximum-tolerated dose/recommended dose of Capecitabine was 1000 mg. The Kaplan-Meier estimated overall l-year survival rate was 100%.
