Core Tip	We found that the tumor characteristics of esophageal cancer in elderly patients were relatively less malignant compared with those in non-elderly patients. The incidence of lymph node and distant metastases, and recurrence or metastasis after radiotherapy were lower. The incidence of treatment-related pneumonitis was much higher in the elderly patients. A proper radiation dose could improve the curative effect and decrease the incidence of treatment-related pneumonitis in elderly patients.
