186Background: This multi-institutional retrospective study suggested that salvage radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for oligo-recurrence in the lymph nodes (LN) of esophagus carcinoma was one of therapeutic options. However risk factors of severe toxicities of these therapies are unclear. Methods: Between January 2000 and April 2015, a total of 237 cases that met the study criteria of oligo-recurrence were treated by RT or CRT in five hospitals. We investigated risk factors of severe toxicities in these patients. We used the fisher’s exact test and Cox proportional hazard model. Toxicities were evaluated by CTCAE v4.0. Results: The median follow-up time for 93 living cases was 29.6 months (range; 1.9-154.0 months). Systemic chemotherapy was administrated to 210 cases (88.6%). Median biological effective dose(BED) was 72 Gy(range: 48-84Gy).The 3-year overall survival (OS) was 37%, local control was 45%, progression-free survival was 24%. Radiation induced Grade 3 or worse adverse events we...
