A patient with advanced recurrent laryngeal cancer complicated with cervical lymph node metastasis was successfully treated with chemoradiotherapy with an oral anticancer drug, TS-1. TS-1 was administered at a dose of 120 mg/day. One course consisted of consecutive administration of TS-1 for 28 days and withdrawal for 14 days. During chemotherapy, the patient received concomitant radiotherapy (60 Gy). At the end of 2 courses, a partial response of the neck metastasis was achieved.
