ABSTRACT
Less than 2% of patients with primary esophageal cancers have synchronous primary lung cancers and many patients with these synchronous tumors are deemed ineligible for radical resection by surgeons due to the poor prognoses of both the diseases. However, we believe that carefully selected patients could benefit from one stage curative resection for these synchronous tumors. We experienced a case of synchronous double cancer of the lung and esophagus and performed bilobectomy and Ivor Lewis operation simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the good result of one stage curative resection for these synchronous serious tumors in Korea.
