Core Tip	Esophageal cancer treatment has evolved from single modality to trimodality therapy. There are some controversies of the role, target volumes and dose of radiotherapy (RT) in the literature over decades. Esophageal brachytherapy is effective in the palliation of dysphagia, but should not be given concomitantly with chemo or external beam RT. On-going studies include: ZTOG1201 trial (a phase II trial of neoadjuvant and adjuvant CRT) and QUINTETT (a phase III trial of neoadjuvant vs adjuvant therapy). These trials hopefully will shed more light on the future management of esophageal cancer.
