[Postoperative abdominal lymph node recurrence of intrathoracic esophageal cancer with a long-term complete response to radiation and split CF therapy (CDDP and 5-FU)--a case report].
We experienced complete remission in a patient with postoperative abdominal lymph node recurrence of intrathoracic esophageal cancer after treatment with radiation (60Co: 30 Gy) and split CF therapy (CDDP: 20 mg/day + 5-FU: 1 g/day for 5 days). Since then, this patient has remained in complete remission for 43 months with intermittent split CF therapy one or two times a year.
