A 70-year-old patient with advanced esophageal cancer with invasion to the aorta was treated by combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP with radiotherapy. TS-1 (80 mg/m2) was administered for 14 days followed by 14 days rest, CDDP (70 mg/m2) was administered by 24 h continuous intravenous infusion at day 8 after the start of TS-1. Radiotherapy (5 days/week) at 2 Gy/day was concurrently started from the beginning of chemotherapy for 3 weeks. After the end of the first course, leukocytopenia of grade 2 and thrombocytopenia of grade 2 were observed. The second course of chemoradiotherapy was suspended for 1 week. After recovery from the toxicity, the second course was started. After the 2 courses of chemoradiotherapy, endoscopic examination with biopsy revealed the disappearance of the esophageal cancer. Combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP was administered 2 times after chemoradiotherapy. After this therapy, endoscopy and a CT showed a complete clinical response. No severe adverse effects were observed during this therapy. Combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP with radiotherapy can be effective for advanced esophageal cancer. |
