Although Fanconi anemia patients accompany a high risk of multiple cancers, radiation therapy on these patients has been carried out only in limited cases due to the concern for radiation toxicity that stems from their susceptibility to radiation. We report a case of a 28-year-old female patient diagnosed as synchronous esophageal and tongue cancer, and underwent two cycles of radiation therapy, inevitably in the condition of coronavirus disease 2019 infection. She received radiation therapy of 30 Gy to esophageal mass with neoadjuvant aim in her first-round radiation therapy, and later received 27 Gy to tongue cancer surgical bed with adjuvant aim in her second-round radiation therapy. With no further treatment, she has been maintaining no evidence of disease state for 7 months. Managing Fanconi anemia patients with multiple cancers using radiation therapy is feasible, in which cases a dose de-escalation may be important considering the radiation toxicity and possible future re-treatment.
尽管范可尼贫血患者患多种癌症的风险很高,但由于担心他们对辐射的易感性会导致辐射毒性,对这些患者的放射治疗仅在有限的情况下进行。我们报告一例28岁女性患者,被诊断为同步性食管癌和舌癌,并在2019年冠状病毒病感染的情况下不可避免地接受了两个周期的放射治疗。她在第一轮放射治疗中对食管肿物进行了30 Gy的新辅助放疗,随后在第二轮放射治疗中对舌癌手术床进行了27 Gy的辅助放疗。在没有进一步治疗的情况下,她已保持无疾病证据状态7个月。对患有多种癌症的范可尼贫血患者使用放射治疗是可行的,在这些病例中,考虑到辐射毒性和未来可能的再次治疗,降低剂量可能很重要。
