pubmed:abstractText |
We hypothesised that accelerated fractionated radiotherapy may provide a good palliative approach for dysphagia relief in patients with incurable oesophageal cancer, significantly reducing the overall duration of treatment, while providing symptom response with an acceptable toxicity profile. A phase I/II accelerated fractionation study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of this approach.
