Abstract:
The patient was a 69-year-old man visited our hospital because of fecal occlt blood test at medical checkup and diagnosed with rectal cancer and gastric cancer. The patient underwent super low anterior resection for rectal cancer cStage III b and underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for early gastric cancer. In 1 year after surgery the patient had recurrence of gastric cancer after ESD and recurrent gastric cancer was additionally resected. In 1 year and 4 months after surgery pulmonary metastasis was recognized and the patient underwent pulmonary segmentectomy. In 5 years after surgery renal cell carcinoma was recognized and the patient underwent partical renal excision. In 8 years after surgery esophagus cancer was recognized and the patient underwent radical chemoradiationtherapy and completed local complete remission. Current the patient is alive without relapse. We report a case where function preservation was possible for quadruple cancer by appropriate preoperative and postoperative examination and appropriate treatment.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
