We report a case of a 42-year-old man who underwent 3 times surgical resection for lymph nodes recurrence and multidisciplinary therapy for Stage IV b Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma, and was well 6 years and 3 months after the first resection. The prognosis of the recurrence cases after radical recection of the esophageal cancer is extremely poor. Long-term prognosis may be obtained in few patients, but the cases are squamous cell carcinoma in most of the reported cases. The number of Barrett's esophageal adenocarcinoma patients is increasing, but it is not many. There is little reports, and there is no fixed treatment policy.
