Hepatic metastasis from esophageal cancer treated by surgical resection and hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.
We herein describe a successful surgical resection of esophageal cancer with syncronous liver metastasis and report the first case of a partial response to hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy for recurrence of esophageal hepatic metastasis after hepatectomy. Hepatectomy and subsequent hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil is thus recommended as an effective treatment for liver metastasis from esophageal cancer.
