Abstract:
A 64-year-old man reporting dysphagia was examined. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a type 3 cancer at the esophagogastric junction. Enhanced CT scan showed several swollen mediastinal and abdominal lymph nodes. We diagnosed the patient with advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction with multiple lymph node metastases(Siewert type II , cT3N2M1[LYM], Stage IV ). After 5 courses of chemotherapy(S-1 plus cisplatin), a significant reduction was observed in the size of the tumor and lymph nodes. Therefore, we performed conversion surgery. The patient underwent esophagectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection using a right thoracotomy approach. He has survived without recurrence in the 10 months since this radical surgery.
