Predicting Severe Radiation Esophagitis in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Receiving Definitive Chemoradiotherapy: Construction and Validation of a Model Based in the Clinical and Dosimetric Parameters as Well as Inflammatory Indexes

Predicting Severe Radiation Esophagitis in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Receiving Definitive Chemoradiotherapy: Construction and Validation of a Model Based in the Clinical and Dosimetric Parameters as Well as Inflammatory Indexes

ObjectiveRadiation esophagitis (RE) is common in patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We aim to construct a nomogram predicting the severe RE (grade ≥2) in patients with ESCC receiving definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT).Materials an...
