Abstract

A case of highly advanced esophageal cancer with bilateral multiple cervical lymph-node metastasis is reported. The largest size of lymph node was 5.0 cm in diameter, and intramural metastasis to the cardia of the stomach and provable invasion to the aorta were also seen. After treatment, with 100 mg/m2 cisplatin on two occasions these lesions were resected curatively. This preoperative chemotherapy would be expected to increase the resectability rate and possibly the survival rate.
