Influence of radiation dose and predicted tumor invasion depth on local recurrence after definitive chemoradiotherapy for stage 0–I esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a propensity score-weighted, retrospective, observational study

Abstract Background The optimal radiation dose for treating non-metastatic superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is unknown. In this retrospective observational study, we investigated the influence of radiation dose and pretreatment endoscopic prediction of tumor invasion depth on local rec...
