Executive summary
19 patients with EC treated with IMPT concurrently with chemotherapy. Clinical complete response was achieved in 84%.
The most common grade 3 acute toxicities were esophagitis and fatigue. IMPT is an effective treatment for EC, with high tumor response, good local control, and acceptable acute toxicity.
