Abstract
Chapter 7 discusses the upper gastrointestinal tract, and addresses the technical challenges of these cancersin relation to tumour volumes, anatomical situation, and poor normal tissue tolerance, particularly of the intra-abdominal contents. More contemporaneous treatment techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy have not currently made significant impact in the routine treatment of upper gastrointestinal tumours in the UK.
