Abstract
- We report a patient with advanced esophageal cancer who achieved a complete response to combination chemotherapy of TS-1, docetaxel and CDDP. A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for advanced esophageal cancer with a complaint of dysphagia. He received chemotherapy, consisting of TS-1 100 mg/body, docetaxel 35 mg/m(2), and CDDP 10 mg/m(2), every 3 weeks. TS-1 was administered for 14 days followed by 7 days rest; docetaxel and CDDP were administered by intravenous infusion at day one and day 8 after beginning TS-1. After three cycles of chemotherapy, his dysphagia disappeared, and endoscopic examination of the primary esophageal tumor showed a complete response. Endoscopic examination with biopsy confirmed the disappearance of the esophageal cancer. No severe side effects were observed during this chemotherapy. Combination chemotherapy of TS-1, docetaxel, and CDDP can thus be effective for advanced esophageal cancer.
