Core Tip	Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-based individualized radiotherapy for esophageal cancer (EC) was achieved in this clinical study. EC patients undergoing radiation treatment may receive different protocols: thalidomide combined with radiation or radiation alone, according to their VEGF level. This study was designed to set appropriate radiotherapy regimens for different patients, improve sensitivity, and decrease resistance in radiation oncology.
