Metachronous Gastric Tube Cancer After Esophagectomy with Gastric Pull-Up – Case Report

Abstract

The progresses in the therapy and methods of diagnosis of malignancies led to a prolonged survival and, consequently, to an increase in secondary tumors in cancer survivor patients [1-7]. We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who was diagnosed with a second primary adenocarcinoma in the gastric conduit, more than two years after the esophagectomy with gastric pull-up. We performed a resection of the gastric conduit and reconstructed with an ileocolon interposition.
