title: [Prognosis and results of radiotherapy of esophageal cancer with the use of radiomodifiers].
abstract: The paper is concerned with a retrospective analysis of the results of therapy of 277 esophageal cancer patients who received radiotherapy alone or in combination with radiomodifying agents depending on the results of clinico-instrumental investigations. Correlation of immediate effectiveness of radiation therapy and duration of a case history, macroscopic type of growth of a tumor, its dissemination, a degree of tumor regression at a dose of 35-40 Gy, the frequency and severity of radiation esophagitides was confirmed. A degree of the influence of these factors was less marked in the use of radiation therapy combined with radiomodifying agents. Life duration is proportional to a degree of tumor regression achieved by the end of a radical course of radiation therapy.
