  • Title: Accelerated hyperfractionation radiotherapy in esophageal cancer. An analysis of 172 cases.
    Author: Wan J, Guo BZ, Gao SZ.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1991 Mar; 104(3):228-9. PubMed ID: 2065536.
    Abstract:
    Between February 1989 and May 1983, 172 patients with esophageal carcinoma were given radiotherapy. They were randomly assigned to an accelerated hyperfractionation group and routine fractionation group. There was no statistically significant length of survival difference between these two groups at 1, 3 and 5 years. Therefore accelerated hyperfractionation is useful for its economy of duration and cost.
