Abstract
- A 78-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of dysphagea on April 8, 2005. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination showed type 2 esophageal cancer in the lower thoracic area and type 3 gastric cancer in the upper body. Computed tomography showed No. 3 lymph node swelling, but no distant metastasis. Surgery was contraindicated because of many complications, so the patient was given combined chemotherapy with TS-1 and low-dose cisplatin. Chemotherapy was started on April 18. After 2 courses of chemotherapy the esophageal lesion showed a complete response, and after 5 courses the gastric lesion evidenced a complete response.
