[Assessment of esophageal cancer with remote metastases treated with multidisciplinary therapy].
We present three cases of patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer with distant metastases. We conducted chemotherapy, radiotherapy, RFA, and operation for main tumor and lymph node, lung, brain metastasis. They were for a long-term survival with multidisciplinary therapy. The longest survival time was about three years. We discussed our cases in light of review of the literature.
