Core Tip	This study reports the outcome and toxicity of high dose (median 63 Gy) radiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer. Post-RT stenosis and tracheoeso­phageal fistula rates were 26% and 6.5%, respectively. Stenosis at diagnosis and post-RT stenosis/fistula was significantly associated with overall survival. Complete circumference involvement was significantly associated with post-RT stenosis but dose higher than 60 Gy was not.
