Purpose
Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells show cytolytic activity against tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining Radiation therapy with adoptive cellular therapy after surgery may be more effective than uses radiation therapy alone in treating esophageal cancer.

Active Comparator: Only radiation therapy
Radiotherapy:Patients will be conducted CT simulation, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) or Intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)was performed. 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions a week, with a total dose of 50Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.

Radiation: Only radiation therapy
Patients only radiation therapy after surgery

Experimental: Radiation therapy plus DC-CIK cellular therapy
Radiotherapy:Patients will be conducted CT simulation, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) or Intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)was performed. 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions a week, with a total dose of 50Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator. DC-CIK cellular therapy:Mononuclear cells were collected aseptically with blood cell separator composition apheresis 3 days before radiation, and cultured DC-CIK cells for 10 days. Cells were infused back to the patients in 3 times between the radiation intermittent period. |
Other: Radiation therapy plus DC-CIK cellular therapy
Patients receive radiation therapy plus DC-CIK cellular therapy after surgery

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- cytologically or histologically confirmed esophageal carcinoma
- Tumor extension beyond muscularis propria and/or nodal involvement without evidence of M1 disease
- Prior en bloc resection, with curative intent, of all known tumor
- No metastatic disease
- Age: > 18
- Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70
- At least 3 weeks since prior surgery
- Normal functions of heart, lung, liver, kidney and bone marrow
- Blood exams qualified for chemotherapy, which included hemoglobulin ≥9 g/dl, neutrophil ≥1.5×109/L and platelet (PLT) ≥100×109/L, creatinine ≤1.5 UNL
- All patients must be evaluated by a radiation oncologist prior to enrollment to ensure patient is appropriate for radiotherapy
- Informed consent signed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with metastatic disease.
- Patients who are pregnant or nursing.
- Patients with poor bone marrow, liver and kidney functions, which would make radiation therapy intolerable
