要旨 食道癌は化学・放射線療法に感受性の高い扁平上皮癌が多く,化学放射線療法(CRT)で臓器温存と根治が目指せる.原発巣の完全寛解(CR)が長期生存を期待できるsurrogate markerと見なせるとの報告が多く,CRT後の効果判定は重要である.「食道癌取扱い規約第10版」で追加された内視鏡的効果判定規準では,原発巣CRとは,(1)腫瘍性病変を示唆する内視鏡所見がすべて消失している,(2)治療前に原発巣が存在していた部位の内視鏡生検にて病理組織学的に癌を認めない,(3)内視鏡検査にて全食道が観察可能である,(4)活動性食道炎を示唆する内視鏡所見がない,という条件を満たすことであり,治療に伴う狭窄や食道炎が残存する場合は適切な時間をおいて繰り返し評価することが必要である.
Chemoradiotherapy has curative potential for the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with organ preservation. A complete response(CR)of the primary lesion is considered an important surrogate marker for long-term survival. It is necessary to evaluate whether any cancerous lesion remains at the primary esophageal site. According to the Guidelines for the Clinical and Pathological Studies on Carcinoma of the Esophagus by The Japan Esophageal Society(10th edition), a CR at the primary site occurs when all of the following criteria are satisfied under endoscopic observation of the entire esophagus :(ⅰ)disappearance of the tumor lesion ;(ⅱ)disappearance of ulceration(slough); and(ⅲ)absence of cancer cells in biopsy specimens. If stenosis or esophagitis remains at the primary site, the evaluation must be repeated at appropriate times.
