What is Evaluation of the Efficacy and Tolerability of a High Dose Palliative Radiotherapy Regime in Oesophageal Carcinoma about?

Patients and methods: In this pilot study 47 patients (25 males, 22 females, median age 58.5 [28e77]) underwent total and partial cerebral radiation therapy. S-100 plasma concentrations were measured with an electrochemolumineszenz immunoassay on admission and weekly during radiation therapy. Results: S-100 plasma concentrations increased from median baseline values of 0.030 mg/l to levels of 0.053 mg/l. During radiation therapy most patients showed an increase of their values, but they were still within the normal range. Conclusions: Partial or total brain irradiation leads to a mild increase of S-100 protein plasma levels. Correlations between elevated plasma levels and late side effects of the radiation therapy will be investigated in the near future. ## P9 National Variations in the Treatment of Oesophageal Carcinoma with Chemo-radiotherapy M.
