.
Actualmente la radioquimioterapia definitiva es
un tratamiento estándar en cáncer de esófago de
histología escamosa con enfermedad localmente
avanzada, siendo el tratamiento recomendado en
las diferentes guías internacionales
26-27
.
Conclusión
Radioquimioterapia definitiva es el tratamiento
estándar en cáncer de esófago escamoso
localmente avanzado siendo un enfoque seguro y
con buena tolerancia para aquellos pacientes
inoperables, a esto se suma que con IMRT se
ofrecen mejores resultados dosimétricos y mayor
protección de órganos a riesgo, lo cual podría
estar implicado, con un mayor seguimiento y
número de pacientes a mejores supervivencias
para aquellos pacientes con buenos resultados
oncológicos.
