Abstract
The risk of carcinogenesis increases after 20 years old in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). We herein report three rare cases of FA combined with esophageal cancer in women; all patients were diagnosed with FA in early childhood. Patients 1 and 2 were diagnosed with advanced and superficial esophageal cancer, respectively, at 21 and 30 years old, respectively. Patient 3 was diagnosed with superficial esophageal cancer, underwent curative surgery at 26 years old, and survived for over 5 years without recurrence. Therefore, establishing a protocol for the early detection of esophageal cancer in FA patients over 20 years old is important.Keywords
