    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old man with inoperable intrathoracic esophageal cancer was treated by concurrent chemoradiation. A dose of 48 Gy (neck) and 60.6 Gy (mediastinum) and four courses of 5-FU (500 mg/day)-CDDP (50 mg/week) were delivered. The esophageal tumor and metastatic lymph nodes of the neck showed a complete response (CR) to the treatment, whereas paraaortic lymph nodes evidenced no change (NC). The patient is doing well without symptoms at 13 months after treatment. The chemoradiotherapy produced effective improvement and quality of life in this patient.
