    Abstract:
    A 73-year-old male patient presenting with synchronous triple cancer of the hypopharynx, esophagus and stomach is herein reported. To pursue safety by reducing surgical stress and better postoperative quality of life, we preserved the stomach by treating the gastric cancer by endoscopic mucosal resection and subsequently used the stomach for making an elongated stomach roll during the esophageal reconstruction. Postoperatively, no complications occurred and the patient has been on oral feeding for 23 months with no recurrence of primary cancer.
