Abstract
-
The occurrence of double primary cancer of the esopbagus and duodenum is considered very rare. Moreover, it is difficult to manage this type of double cancer because esophageal cancer has a biologic tendency to early metastasis. We report a case of double primary cancer, which we have synchronously confirmed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and duodenal adenocarcinoma with gastrofiberscopic biopsy, and then treated them by gastrojejunostomy and systemic chemotherapy.
