Esophageal cancer (EC) patients receiving radiotherapy are at a high risk of malnutrition, which can increase the side effects of radiotherapy, reduce the accuracy and sensitivity of radiotherapy and decrease treatment effect. Therefore, timely and correct nutritional treatment is crucial. To date, however, neither consensus nor guidelines on enteral nutrition (EN) specifically for EC patients receiving radiotherapy exist. Accordingly, an expert consensus conference was held to establish consensus on the use of EN in EC patients receiving radiotherapy. It reflected the opinions of a multidisciplinary group of experts and a review of the current literature, and established common guidelines for nutritional screening and assessment, nutrition counseling, indication for EN, access and formulas of EN, effect evaluation, nutrition plan adjustment, and home enteral nutrition.
