We herein show the significance of the serum level of C-reactive protein as an indicator of proliferation in esophageal carcinoma. The patient was a 70-year-old male with advanced squamous cell carcinoma in the lower location of the esophagus, and in whom an esophagectomy and reconstruction with a gastric tube through the intrathoracic route was performed. When he was later hospitalized again due to recurrent tumor, the serum C-reactive protein level was 5.0 mg/dL and it later increased to 10.8 mg/dL along with the proliferation of the tumor. After performing chemotherapy, the concentration of the serum C-reactive protein decreased to the negative level with a simultaneous improvement in his cachexic condition and the eventual disappearance of the tumor.
我们在此展示了血清C反应蛋白水平作为食管癌增殖指标的重要性。该患者为一名70岁男性，患有食管下段晚期鳞状细胞癌，接受了开胸食管切除术及胃管重建术。后来他因肿瘤复发再次住院时，血清C反应蛋白水平为5.0mg/dL，随着肿瘤增殖，该水平随后升至10.8mg/dL。化疗后，血清C反应蛋白浓度降至阴性水平，同时他的恶病质状况得到改善，肿瘤最终消失。
