Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>The efficacy of intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for cervical esophageal cancer has not been determined.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Eighty patients with cervical esophageal cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy from 2002 to 2014 were analyzed. Overall survival (OS), failure patterns, and toxicity incidence were compared between the IMRT (N = 32) and 3D conformal radiotherapy (RT; N = 48) groups.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>The median follow‐up was 35.9 months. The 3‐year OS of the IMRT, 3D conformal RT, and total groups was 81.6%, 57.2%, and 66.6%, respectively. Pulmonary toxicity was not observed with IMRT. Six of 62 cases (9.6%) with nodal involvement developed upper cervical node recurrence outside the prophylactic region. Ten patients in the IMRT group were salvaged, and 60% survived without recurrence; 20% of the 3D conformal RT group was salvaged.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>The IMRT group was comparable with 3D conformal RT group, with a better salvage rate. We recommend extended cervical irradiation for nodal involvement.</jats:p></jats:sec>
