We report here a case of recurrent esophageal cancer successfully treated by cervical lymph node dissection and chemo-radiation therapy. A 66-year-old woman received esophagectomy for advanced esophageal cancer in February 2003. Cervical CT and ultrasonography revealed multiple lymph node metastases in February 2008. Surgical excision was performed to the lymph node recurrence. After the operation, she received radiation therapy combined with cisplatin and 5-FU. She is alive without recurrence for two years after the treatment. We conclude that surgery and chemo-radiation therapy may be effective for cervical lymph node recurrence of esophageal cancer.
