Core Tip The feasibility of simultaneous modulated accelerated radiotherapy (SMART) in the treatment of upper or middle thoracic esophageal cancer is evaluated in this study. Computed tomography datasets of 10 patients were used to generate SMART, conventionally-fractionated three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (cf-IMRT) plans, respectively. The prescribed dose for the SMART plans was 66 Gy/30 F to the gross tumor and 54 Gy/30 F to subclinical diseases. The dose for both the 3DCRT and cf-IMRT was 60 Gy/30 F to a single target volume. The results demonstrate that SMART can offer the potential for a 6 Gy simultaneous escalation in the dose delivered to the primary tumor of esophageal cancer and improve normal tissue sparing compared with 3DCRT and cf-IMRT.
