| Core Tip |
Salvage surgery after definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) for T4 esophageal cancer is associated with a high incidence of surgery-related death and severe complication. In the present study, we have described the successful case of an unresectable locally advanced T4 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated by additional cisplatin plus 5 fluorouracil chemotherapy after induction docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil followed by dCRT. This case suggests that additional cisplatin plus 5 fluorouracil chemotherapy could be one radical treatment option for residual esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after induction docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil followed by dCRT to avoid salvage surgery, especially for high-risk patients. |
