[A case of recurrent gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma successfully treated with radiation plus chemotherapy (5-FU+CDDP, S-1, Paclitaxel, CPT-11) for long-term survival with good QOL].

We report a 63-year-old man with recurrent gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. He underwent esophagogastrectomy in August 2004. After curative operation with Stage III (pT3N1M0), a recurrence was found at the anastomosis site in November 2004. Chemoradiotherapy with S-1 followed by chemotherapy (S-1) was performed from January 2005 to April 2006. Lymphnode metastasis to the left side of the main bronchus appeared in May 2006, and paclitaxel was used until December 2007 when PR was indicated by CT scan and GIF. Now he is receiving CPT-11. During these 3 years and 3 months, his performance status was maintained from 0 to 1.
