Maximum Eligible Age:65 Years
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Expression of Survivin protein in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma before and after Radiotherapy
Time Frame:before radiotherapy and 1 months after the radiotherapy
Safety Issue:
Description:Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein, is highly expressed in most cancers and associated with radiotherapy resistance, increased tumor recurrence, and shorter patient survival.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Quality of life (QOL)
Time Frame:up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Quality of life (QOL) as measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Measure:Overall survival
Time Frame:up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:time from randomization to death
Measure:PFS(progression-free survival)
Time Frame:up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:time from randomization to one of the following events, whichever comes first: Tumor progression at any time (progression of primary tumor or local lymph nodes, appearance of new lesions) Recurrence at local, regional or distant site after surgery Death from any cause
Measure:local control rate(LCR
Time Frame:up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to locoregional failure after R0 resection
Measure:Pathological remission
Time Frame:1 months after the end of surgery
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:grade 3-5 adverse events
Time Frame:up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Grade 3-5 adverse events as assessed by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v3.0,such as esophagitis、pneumonitis and hematologic toxicity
