A case report demonstrates effective re-radiotherapy in managing mediastinal recurrences in esophageal carcinoma, indicating safe long-term outcomes.
Loco‐regional recurrence after radical surgery in esophageal cancer is common. However, there is no universally accepted guideline for managing such loco‐regional recurrences. Even after multiple local recurrences in the mediastinum, a patient can consolidate safely by re‐radiotherapy in the mediastinal region with minimal late morbidity by judicious use of radiotherapy, if there is an acceptable time gap between two radiotherapy periods.
