[Superficial small cell carcinoma of esophagus treated by endoscopic mucosal resection combined with chemoradiotherapy--a case report].
The patient was a 70-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital for positive fecal occult blood. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a superficial plateau-type (0- I sep) submucosal cancer on the right wall of the esophagus 28 cm from the incisor. Biopsy revealed small cell carcinoma. CT scan detected neither lymph node metastasis, nor distant organ metastasis. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was performed. Post-EMR chemoradiotherapies were conducted. The patient has lived with no evidence of cancer recurrence for 40 months. This was the first case of esophageal small cell carcinoma treated by EMR combined with chemoradiotherapy.
