Abstract:
In nivolumab therapy for unresectable advanced esophageal cancer, there are a few cases that show a complete response, and long-term survival can be expected in such cases. Here, we report a case in which nivolumab had a complete response to multiple lymph node metastases during multidisciplinary treatment for esophageal cancer and survived for a relatively long period despite being elderly. Examination of complete response cases provides us with significant insights in considering the unexplained biomarkers of immune checkpoint inhibitors and treatment discontinuation during complete response.
