A 70-year-old woman, who had undergone esophagectomy for cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (pT3pN2M0, Stage III) 9 months earlier, was diagnosed as mediastinal lymph node recurrence by CT and endoscope. Patients underwent radiochemotherapy with 5 cycles of docetaxel 10 mg/m(2) on day 1 and 5-FU 250 mg/m(2) on day 1 to day 5, together with concurrent radiation (50 Gy/25 Fr) for mediastinum. After this treatment, a complete response (CR) was achieved, and there was no recurrence 9 months after the treatment. No severe adverse effects were observed. Concurrent radiochemotherapy with docetaxel and 5-FU is considered effective without serious side effects for postoperative recurrence in esophageal cancer.
