title: [A case of advanced esophageal cancer with large liver metastasis successfully treated with FAP therapy].
abstract: A 70-year-old man with dysphagia was diagnosed as advanced esophageal cancer by a primary doctor, and he was admitted to our hospital for treatment in February, 2004. The pretreatment diagnosis was basaloid squamous carcinoma, Mt area, T4 (aorta) , N2 (No. 107) , M1 (liver), Stage IVb performed systemic chemotherapy by FAP (5-fluorouracil ( 5-FU)+doxorubicin (DXR)+cisplatin (CDDP) ) from March, 2004. After 4 courses, the local tumor almost entirely disappeared, and the liver metastasis was obviously reduced. We continued chemotherapy afterwards. As of March 31, 2007, he had local lesion CR and metastatic lesion PR. It is very important to perform FAP repeatedly, for local and metastatic lesion of esophageal cancer while maintaining the patient's general condition and avoiding adverse events.
