ABSTRACT
A 71-year-old man with stage IV esophageal carcinoma was treated by chemo-radiotherapy (5-FU 500 mg/day + CDDP 10 mg/day for 4 weeks and 67.6 Gy of RT). The esophageal tumor showed a complete response to the treatment. Six months later, he had obstructive jaundice due to an abdominal recurrent mass. A secondary (palliative) CRT was performed (5-FU 500 mg/day + CDDP 10 mg/day for 3 weeks and 45 Gy of RT). The abdominal tumor became remarkably smaller and jaundice disappeared. Though the patient died from pulmonary carcinomatous lymphangitis, the primary lesion showed CR. CRT was very effective for local treatment and for palliative therapy.
