Abstract
A 67-year-old man who was hospitalized at a mental hospital because of schizophrenia was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of dysphagia and vomiting. He was found to have advanced cancer in the middle thoracic esophagus. With the cooperation of a radiologist, a psychiatrist, and a nurse, we successfully performed chemoradiation therapy with S-1 and CDDP. The patient had adverse events of esophagitis and anuria during chemoradiation therapy. However, such adverse events were well controlled through the cooperation with a palliative care team and a urologist. Finally, we were able to enforce chemoradiation therapy with S-1 and CDDP without interruption.
