Based on the identical CT and planning target volume (PTV), three plans (3DCRT, sIMRT with seven fields, VMAT with a single arc) were generated. Dose prescription was set to 60Gy in 30 fractions. Dose volume histograms, MU and delivery time were evaluated to assess plan quality. 【Results】 In comparison to 3DCRT, both VMAT and IMRT provided a systematic improvement in PTV coverage. For normal tissues, equivalent sparing of lung and heart were achieved with three plans. However, IMRT and VMAT showed a superior sparing compared with 3DCRT for spinal cord. The MU/fraction was as follows: 537 ± 92 for 3DCRT, 601 ± 122 for IMRT, and 682 ± 139 for VMAT. Effective treatment time for 3DCRT, IMRT and VMAT were (3.9 ± 0.3) min,(6.0 ± 0.7) min and (4.7 ± 0.7)min, respectively (P lt 0.05). 【Conclusions】 Compared with 3DCRT, IMRT and VMAT showed better dosimetric quality and superior spinal cord sparing. However, VMAT improved delivery efficiency significantly than IMRT. 　　Key words: radiotherapy esophageal neoplasm volumetric modulated arc therapy intensity-modulat
