摘要

Images of a 66-year-old man with esophageal cancer in upper and middle esophagus. aBrancheoscopy shows esophageal tumor ingrowths into tracheal wall. bPathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. cCT scan shows an obvious thickening of esophageal wall and invasion into tracheal wall. dThe right bronchial artery is super-selectively catheterized by a microcatheter. eTumor-feeding artery was embolized using doxorubicin loading-CalliSpheres beads. fAfter 1 month, CT scan shows a stable mass in the esophageal body
