Abstract

Perforation of esophageal cancer is one of the fatal oncologic emergencies, and a prompt and accurate treatment strategy is required. Here, we report a case of advanced esophageal cancer that had perforated during preoperative chemotherapy and was successfully resected with multidisciplinary treatment. The prognosis of perforated esophageal cancer can be expected to improve by multidisciplinary treatment appropriately combining initial treatment for infection control and subsequent cancer treatment.
