This case report demonstrated the effectiveness of combining chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) in converting initially inoperable esophageal cancer into an operable condition. A 60-year-old male with stage IVB lower third esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cT3N2M1) experienced significant tumor shrinkage (ypT2N0M0) and a notable metabolic response, which enabled successful surgical removal. This treatment approach highlights the potential of mEHT as a valuable addition to the comprehensive management of esophageal cancer.
本病例报告证明了化疗放疗(CCRT)与调制式电高热疗法(mEHT)相结合在将最初无法手术的食管癌转变为可手术状态方面的有效性。一名60岁患有IVB期食管下三分之一鳞状细胞癌(cT3N2M1)的男性经历了显著的肿瘤缩小(ypT2N0M0)和明显的代谢反应,从而得以成功进行手术切除。这种治疗方法凸显了mEHT作为食管癌综合管理中有价值补充手段的潜力。
