Brain metastases from esophageal cancer: a case-report

https://doi.org/10.17650/2222-1468-2020-10-2-97-100

Abstract

Esophageal cancer spreads locally via the circulatory and lymphatic systems and can, extremely rarely, form brain metastases. The development of intracranial metastases is a long-term adverse event indicating poor prognosis. In this paper, we present a case of esophageal cancer with a brain metastasis in a patient who received combination therapy and demonstrated long-term progression-free survival.
