Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether adding a higher dose of MRI-guided radiation to standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with a type of esophageal cancer. About 30 participants will receive two extra radiation boosts in the final week of standard treatment. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose without causing severe side effects, while also checking if the approach helps shrink tumors more effectively.
