[A case of small cell carcinoma of the esophagus with remarkable response to chemotherapy with CPT-11 and CDDP].
2007
: A 63-year-old man visited our hospital with complaints of the chest pain and loss of appetite. A computed tomography of chest showed wall thickening in the lower portion of the esophagus and carinal and para-aorta lymph node swelling. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an irregular ulcerated lesion in the middle portion of the esophagus, which was pathologically diagnosed as small cell carcinoma. A computed tomography of the abdomen showed multiple liver metastases and para-aortic, cardiac, and common hepatic arterial lymph node swelling. One course of combined chemotherapy with CPT-11 and CDDP, then 3 courses of chemotherapy with CPT-11 showed clinical complete remission.
