A 64-year-old male was referred for neo-adjuvant therapy by the surgical oncology team after complaining of semi-solid food swallowing difficulties for six months. Three rounds of Neoadjuvant chemotherapy were given to the patient. But despite numerous counseling sessions, the patient refused to have surgery. As a result, the case was discussed and the patient's concurrent chemoradiotherapy was scheduled. He received 50.4Gy/28# of chemoradiotherapy to his mediastinum and oesophagus using the 3DCRT technique on a 6MV LINAC. The patient experienced a painful ulcerated nodule across her scalp and left axilla three months after finishing chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Both nodules tested positive for squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was subsequently instructed to get a PET CT scan to check for any additional distant metastases, and an electron therapy course of action was then developed. However, the patient died on the day of PET CT scan. Hence the question that arises is, can distant metastasis be analyzed earlier? Or will early investigation after Concurrent chemoradiotherapy give false positive results?
