Esophageal Cancer Research and Treatment

This paper describes a case of synchronous double cancer of the different organs (esophagus and kidney) which were resected radically on an two step approach, with a reveiw of the literature. A 67-year-old man was seen at the hospital because of pyrosis. Endscopic examination revealed an esophageal cancer (Im, O-IIc). Then a tumor of the right kidney was visualized by ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography. Under a diagnosis of synchronous double primary carcinoma of the esophagus and kidney, the operation was performed on a two step approach because mild impairment of renal function was noted. In the first operation, a subtotal esophagectomy with lymph node dissection and reconstruction of esophagus was performed. Two months later a right radical nephrectomy was carried out. Histopathologically, the tumors were well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the esophagus, and granular cell type of renal cell carcinoma in the kindey.
