So... this recurrence was seen in his stomaphagus... in a portion of the original esophagus still in use... above the anastomosis? Nothing seen in lymph nodes or organs? What type radiation will be used?

He wasn't a candidate for surgery or radiation. This recurrence is in the distal esophagus at 36 cm. The latest CT, PET and laparoscopy didn't show any spread to lymph nodes or distant organs this time so the plan will include radiation with the chemo. I know it's external beam radiation but I don't know anything more about it. It's not proton though.
