Abstract:
The authors report a case with esophageal cancer who had undergone a non-curative resection and showed a recurrence. Treatment with only oral 5'-DFUR resulted in complete response. This was followed by oral ftorafur, and the case has remained complete response for 40 months. It is rare to obtain such an effect in esophageal cancers by oral and sole administration of a drug in the 5-FU class. Our experience with this case is described.
