Esophageal cancer is a lethal disease with poor survival rate. It
is necessary to determine the extension, and the stage of the
tumor to predict the outcome of patients. Of the two common
pathologic types, squamous cell carcinoma is still the most
common form, and adenocarcinoma is the leading one. Early
diagnosis and radical treatment of esophageal cancer, regardless
of tumor spreading, increases the curability and the survival
time to five years. Herein a case of cured esophageal
cancer with 14 years survival without recurrence is presented.
He was operated to remove the esophageal tumor. This can
presumably raise the question whether the origin of the tumor
or its involvement has to be appreciated as recurrence or new
independent one.
