We evaluated elective nodal irradiation (ENI) doses during radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for esophageal cancer (EC). A total of 79 patients (65 men and 14 women) aged 52–80 years with T1-3, N0-3, and M0 (including M1ly) who underwent CRT for EC during November 2012–September 2019 were eligible for this retrospective analysis.
