In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of intraluminal thermoradiation therapy for local advanced esophageal cancer. Intraluminal thermoradiotherapy was performed to 10 patients with local advanced esophageal cancer ( 6 T3 and 4 T4). Of three patients, sequential thermoradiotherapy was performed (Goup A). Of seven patients, concurrent thermoradiotherapy was performed (Group B)achieved good response, but complete responese (CR) was obtained in three patients. CR rates in group A and group B were 33.3% and 28.6%, respectively. In group B, all CR cases were administered 60 Gy/6 weeks of external radiotherapy and 8 Gy/2 weeks of intraluminal brachytherapy. Of 10 patients, four had curative resection, three had microscopic carcinoma in the specimen. Pain and vomitig during the thermoradiotherapy were observed in four patients and one patient, respectively. Intraluminal thermoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer is effective treatment. However, in patients who have been treated with intracavitary brachytherapy during heat treatment, this combination was not been determined, the reasonable radiation dose, when is treated with intraluminal brachytherapy during hyperthermia, has to determine.
