Objective  To explore the comprehensive treatment of synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach.
Methods  The treatment procedures of 8 patients with synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and
stomach admitted in the Department of Digestive Tumor Surgery of The Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Jiangsu Province between Oct. 2006 to Feb. 2013 were analyzed. Some experience of comprehensive treatment of synch-
ronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach was explored.
Results  Eight cases of synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach were all diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy. According to the results of CT and endoscopic ultrasonography assessment, lesions which were staged earlier than T1a were cured by endoscopic mucosal resection(6 cases, including 4 cases of esophagus cancer and 2 cases of gastric cancer), and resection operation (1 cases of esop-hagus cancer). The lesions staged later than T2 were treated by preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiation, surgery, and adjuvant chemoradiation after operation (8 cases, including 2 cases of esophagus cancer and 6 cases of gastric cancer), and simple operation (1 case). Eight patients had been followed-up for 10-76 months (averaged 41.3 months). Six patients survived without recurrence and metastasis during the followed-up, 1 patient died in 7 months after operation, and 1 patient relapsed in 20 months after operation.
Conclusions  Individually designed comprehensive treatment using neo-chemotherapy, intervention chemotherapy, radio-chemotherapy, radical resction surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and endoscopic mucosal resection can treat synchronous double cancers of the esophagus and stomach effectively. Impr-actical pursuit for radical surgery will not result in good prognosis
