The role of deep hyperthermia in IMRT in elderly patients with esophageal cancer: a retrospective cohort study
Adding deep hyperthermia to IMRT can improve the ORR in elderly patients with EC. In addition, it significantly reduces radiotherapy-related toxicity. Although this approach does not improve the long-term prognosis, it is still practical and has low toxicity, making it suitable for clinical use.
