Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
In 2018 in Russian Federation more than 500 thousand new cases of cancer were found, including 8000 cases with malignant tumors of esophagus and more than 30 % of patients have the IV stage. Esophageal cancer takes the 6-th place in death causes connected to cancer in the world and it is still one of the main global problems in medical care. Oncologists face the problem of the most difficult choice in treatment tactics for spread stages of disease. In this situation it is recommended to provide combined treatment (surgery, neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy). Definitive radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy (without surgery) is used for patients with unrespectable esophageal tumor. In this article we present clinical case of successful treatment of a patient with metastatic esophageal cancer. The patient got chemoradiotherapy in 2017 and after control checkup in November 2019 remission was registered. After provided treatment stopping of pain syndrome and dysphagia, food passage through esophagus was restored. The patient notes good life quality, he is physically active and socially adapted.
