[A clinical case of lymph node recurrence after the resection of esophagogastric junction cancer treated by chemoradiation therapy].

A 52-year-old man who was diagnosed with esophagogastric junction cancer underwent left thoracolaparotomy and total gastrectomy. At 3 years and 11 months after the surgery, his carcinoembryonic antigen value was elevated, and cervical and right paraesophageal lymph node enlargement was detected by chest computed tomography(CT). Although lymph node dissection was performed, the presence of microscopic cancer-positive surgical stumps was confirmed. Since then, combination chemoradiotherapy using S-1 and radiation(60 Gy) has been applied. Currently, the patient is alive with no signs of lesion recurrence according to CT findings 8 years and 11 months after the initial surgery.
