化疗和放射治疗改善了许多不同类型癌症的治疗结果。然而,由于患者的存活时间更长,人们对延迟并发症的发生感到担忧。由于食道癌患者接受了广泛的纵隔和心脏照射,他们可能会像之前报道的霍奇金氏病那样,出现延迟的心肺功能并发症。我们报告一例晚期食道癌和胃癌者因无法控制的胸腔积液和心包积液而死亡的病例,他在放化疗和保留性胃切除后获得完全缓解,主要集中在与同步放化疗相关的详细病理生理学情况。
Chemoradiotherapy improves therapeutic outcome in many different types of cancer. However, there is concern about the occurrence of delayed complications, as patients are surviving longer. Because patients with esophageal cancer receive a wide range of irradiation field to the mediastinum and the heart, they may have delayed complications of heart and lung functions as previously reported in Hodgkin's disease. We presented a case of death related to uncontrollable pleural and pericardial effusions in a patient with advanced cancers of the esophagus and stomach who achieved a complete remission following chemoradiotherapy and salvage gastric resection, focusing on detailed pathophysiological conditions related to concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
