Definitive radiotherapy for secondary esophageal cancer after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
2021
The reports for secondary esophageal cancer treated by radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is few, however they potentially yield a cure for esophageal cancer. We report a case of definitive radiotherapy for a patient with secondary locally advanced unresectable esophageal cancer after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. Definitive radiotherapy for the current patient was completed with acceptable toxicity despite the poor general condition with long-term chronic graft-versus-host disease. Radiotherapy may be the definitive treatment for this population unfit for concurrent chemotherapy or surgery.
