Nonresectable Esophageal Cancer
Gastroenterology Nursing, 1992Esophageal cancer is a devastating illness that has often metastasized before diagnosis. Diagnostic options include barium x-ray and endoscopy. Staging is most accurate using endoscopic ultrasonography. Treatment modalities that are widely used include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, dilatation, prosthesis placement, neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser

Management of Esophageal Cancer
Current Problems in Surgery, 2010The number of new cases of esophageal cancer in the United States in 2000 likely will exceed the 12,000 annually recorded in previous years. Although two histologic subtypes exist, the incidence of adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus in the last two decades has been increasing dramatically throughout North America and Europe.1–3 The primary risk ...

Nutrition and esophageal cancer
Cancer Causes and Control, 1996Epidemiologic evidence on the relation between nutrition and esophageal cancer is reviewed. Results from ecologic, case-control, cohort, and intervention studies are included. Most of the findings pertain more to squamous cell carcinoma than adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.

Esophageal Cancer: Ultrasonography
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2009Esophageal malignancy is a major source of morbidity and mortality, despite the recently increased attention to screening and early detection. Prognosis for esophageal cancer remains grim, with advanced tumor stage and lymph node metastases conferring even graver outcomes.

There are three traditional therapeutic modalities employed in the treatment of esophageal cancer; surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These modalities have been utilized, either in combination or alone, as primary or adjuvant therapy for locally advanced disease as well as palliative therapy for metastatic disease.

Esophageal prosthesis in cancer
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1978We describe the use of polyvinyl esophageal prosthetic tubes to treat 14 consecutive patients with malignant strictures and tracheoesophageal fistula from carcinoma of the esophagus. We found these prosthetic tubes easy to construct, simple to insert, and that their use improved the quality of remaining life in most patients by diminishing dysphagia ...

Epidemiology of esophageal cancer
Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1989AbstractThe incidence of cancer of the oesophagus is high in India but not as high as the rates reported from the Caspian Littoral of Iran. Incidence data available for three places in India—Bombay, Madras, and Bangalore—show regional variations. In Bombay, the rates for males are high compared to Madras and Bangalore.A case control study of 503 ...

Early esophageal cancer (EEC) accounted for only seven (4.7%) of 148 cases of esophageal cancer diagnosed at the authors' hospital between 1977 and 1984. Two patients with EEC had squamous cell carcinoma and five had adenocarcinoma arising in Barrett's mucosa.

Chemoradiation for Esophageal Cancer
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2013Esophageal cancer management is based on baseline clinical stage, location of the tumor, and associated comorbid conditions. In patients with localized esophageal cancer (LEC) with technically resectable tumors and who are medically fit for surgery, the current recommendation is trimodality therapy (chemoradiation followed by surgery).
