Radiotherapy (5 x 4 Gy) will be given. After completion of radiotherapy, 4 cycles of chemotherapy will be administered, cycle length 14 days. Each patient will receive oxaliplatin as infusion at a dose of 85 mg/m2, followed by a bolus injection of fluorouracil at a dose of 400 mg/m2, and a long time infusion (44 hours) of fluorouracil at a dose of 2 400 mg/m2.

Radiotherapy at a dose of 4 Gy will be given to a total dose of 20 Gy, treatment duration 5 days.

Radiation therapy

Oxaliplatin at a dose of 85 mg/m2 and will be given on day 1, infusion (44 hours) of fluorouracil will be given for 4 cycles, cycle length 14 days.

Oxaliplatin and fluorouracil.

In this trial, patients with histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or esophagogastric junction noneligible for surgery or chemoradiation with curative intent will be included. Primary objective is to determine the rate of improvement in dysphagia after palliative short course hypofractionated radiotherapy (5 x 4 Gy) followed by chemotherapy consisting of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil. The rate of improvement of dysphagia is evaluated by a 5 graded dysphagia score, and a positive change of at least 1 score is considered to be an improvement.
