A case of long-term survival after pulmonary resection for metachronous pulmonary metastasis of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus

Abstract

Although the usefulness of surgical intervention for metastatic lesions from BSCE is controversial, the patients with metachronous solitary metastasis to the lung and without extrapulmonary metastasis would be good candidate for pulmonary resection.

Recurrence of esophageal cancer after R0 surgery: risk factors and evolution

“…Similarly, cases with good results have been published in the past few years, for resections in single pulmonary recurrences and within the context of patients with good general conditions. We contribute one case with these characteristics with a DfI of 22 months, which supports other authors that propose a prolonged DfI as a favorable factor to consider when faced with this behavior (46,47).…”

Surgical resection and chemoradiotherapy for metachronous pulmonary metastasis of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus

“…To the best of our knowledge, three successful cases of resected pulmonary BSCCE metastases without involvement of distant organs have been reported [4] , [10] , [11] . Surgical intervention may be considered in patients likely to tolerate operative therapy with solitary metachronous pulmonary BSCCE metastases.…”

Clinical Outcomes of Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus: A Retrospective Analysis of 142 Cases

“…Radical resection in early-stage patients could achieve acceptable results. Occasionally, surgical intervention in BSCCE patients with metachronous solitary lung metastasis could also achieve good results (Takemura et al, 2012;Yoshino et al, 2012) .…”
