Title

An advanced oesophageal cancer study to compare quality of life and palliation of dysphagia

Summary

People with cancer of the oesophagus (gullet) often have trouble swallowing. Radiotherapy can help improve this problem. Using chemotherapy together with radiotherapy may work better but has more side effects. This trial will determine if it is better to use radiotherapy by itself or together with chemotherapy.
