Abstract
Elderly patients experienced more postoperative cardiopulmonary toxicities and mortality than did younger patients after nCRT. Compared with contemporary outcomes for trimodality therapy, both cohorts had acceptable rates for adverse events and disease control. For appropriately selected elderly patients, trimodality therapy for esophageal cancer is a reasonable treatment option.
