title: [A case of advanced esophageal cancer with suspected tracheoesophageal fistula that responded to chemoradiotherapy].
abstract: Chemoradiotherapy combined cisplatin, 5-FU and radiation was carried out in an advanced esophageal cancer with suspected tracheoesophageal fistula after insertion of an expandable metallic stent. Regression of the primary tumor was observed, and oral intake could be started. Chemoradiotherapy after insertion of the expandable metallic stent was useful in this case of advanced esophageal cancer with suspected tracheoesophageal fistula.
