Abstract
The patient was a 67-year-old man who suffered synchronous triple cancer of the esophagus, hypopharynx, and rectum. The esophageal carcinoma was far advanced with aortic and left broncheal invasions. First he was treated with preoperative chemotherapy with CDDP (70 mg/m2; day 1), 5-FU (700 mg/m2; days 1-5), and VDS (3 mg/m2; day 1). After two cycles of chemotherapy he achieved PR in all lesions. The operation was divided into palliative resection of the hypopharyngeal and rectal carcinomas and curative esophagectomy. Post-operative irradiation was given to the hypopharynx, cervix, and upper mediastinum. He has been alive for 11 months with no evidence of recurrence, and has had good quality of life following this successfull multimodality treatment.
