    Abstract:
    A 65 year old female patient, who had developed left atelectasis because of mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis after esophageal resection for esophageal cancer, underwent the combination treatment with UFT (300 mg/day) and radiation (1.5 Gy/day, total dosage: 70.2 Gy). The symptoms soon subsided, and mediastinal CT and bronchoscopy revealed a complete disappearance of metastatic lymph nodes after one month. During one year of CR she enjoyed her daily life, however the relapse occurred. It is suggested that the combination treatment is an effective and safe way even in a patient who went through a lot of invasive surgeries.
