| Core Tip |
Despite medical advances, esophageal cancer has a poor prognosis. Recently, there have been many reports on proton beam therapy combined with chemotherapy. Compared to X-ray therapy, proton beam therapy can reduce toxicity and may lead to long-term survival while maintaining the quality of life. Some reports suggest that it may be possible to achieve results comparable to those of surgery, although this is premised on an environment in which appropriate post-recurrence treatment can be performed. Proton beam therapy plays a significant role in the treatment of esophageal cancer in an aging society. |
