Analysis of the prognostic factors of simultaneous integrated boost-intensity modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) in 220 cases of locally advanced squamous esophageal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Patients with advanced esophageal cancer often cannot be treated by surgery; in these cases, radiation therapy is usually applied. However, there are currently few studies on the clinical efficacy of this treatment method. The present study aimed to investigate and observe the clinical efficacy and related prognostic factors of simultaneous integrated boost-intensity modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) in esophageal squamous carcinoma, and to provide a reference for clinicians in radiotherapy (RT) departments.

Methods

The clinical and follow-up data of 220 patients with esophageal squamous carcinoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2017 to Dece
