Endoscopic submucosal dissection of recurrent or residual superficial esophageal cancer after chemoradiotherapy.

Background: Treatment of local recurrent or residual superficial esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) with conventional EMR often results in a piecemeal resection that requires further intervention.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

Design: A case series.

[A case of large-cell lung cancer with liver metastasis successfully treated using combination chemotherapy with CDDP and vinorelbine].

A 38-year-old woman presented to our hospital with the chief complaint of dyspnea. A chest radiograph showed pleural effusion of the right lung and a CT scan revealed liver metastasis. A tumor biopsy done under bronchoscopy revealed large-cell carcinoma of the lungs.
