A case of huge esophageal carcinosarcoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Surgery is the standard of care for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is another definitive treatment option for those patients who have not been treated surgically. Comparison of approaches is being explored in NSCLC, but has yet to be compared exclusively...
