    Abstract:
    A 67-year-old man was diagnosed as having a type 3 advanced esophageal carcinoma by barium swallow and endoscopy. Biopsy specimens showed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with positive immunostaining for p53, C-erb B-2 and negative for bcl-2. Two courses of chemotherapy using 5-FU, leucovorin and CDDP were performed before operation. Because no cancer cells were present in the surgical specimens, the effect was evaluated as grade 3. This neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be effective for esophageal carcinoma with a possible apoptosis mechanism.
