Article Synopsis
- A 74-year-old man presented with severe abdominal pain in April 2008 and was diagnosed with Stage IVa esophageal endocrine cell carcinoma, with cancer spread to nearby lymph nodes.
- He underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy, which significantly reduced the primary tumor, leading to a diagnosis of complete remission after two treatment courses.
- Unfortunately, by June 2009, he experienced a relapse with liver metastasis, and despite starting second-line chemotherapy, his health deteriorated, resulting in his death on October 2, 2009.
