Superficial esophageal carcinoma
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995The detection of superficial esophageal carcinomas by surveillance endoscopy and the downstaging of advanced carcinomas to superficial carcinomas by induction therapy have increased the number of patients with these carcinomas undergoing resection. The natural history of these carcinomas is not well defined.To evaluate the results of surgical resection

AbstractFrom 1976 until 1990 a total of 212 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus were referred for surgical treatment. Resectability was 84.1% (161 of 191). Actuarial 5‐year survival in patients with negative lymph nodes was 51.2% versus 12.4% in lymph nodepositive patients.

Hyperthermochemoradiotherapy and esophageal carcinoma
Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1986AbstractCancer of the esophagus still poses considerable treatment problems, with a poor 5‐year survival rate after surgery, an even worse outlook after radiation and surgery, and a not very satisfactory response to chemotherapy. After several years of continued research, in 1983 we developed a Radio Frequency System with endotract electrode and ...

Immunity in esophageal carcinoma
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1983AbstractIn carcinoma of the esophagus, response to in vivo sensitization with recall antigens and DNCB was markedly depressed with 13% and 16% positivity respectively. Similarly, the number of T‐cells was found to be significantly low (24 ± 14) as compared to normal control (61 ± 23).

Palliation for Esophageal Carcinoma
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1980Fifty-three patients with carcinoma of the esophagus treated since 1972 are reviewed. Eighteen unresectable patients with distant metastases or pulmonary insufficiency were treated with irradiation or with esophageal or gastrostomy tubes plus irradiation. There were 5 early deaths, and only 3 patients survived more than three months.

Epidemiology of Esophageal Carcinoma
JAMA, 1978To the Editor.— The discouraging results in managing esophageal carcinoma stem from its propensity to late diagnosis and the difficulty in surgical therapy. A report of "Carcinoma In Situ of the Esophagus" (239:335, 1978) by Sotus et al encourages early diagnosis with suspicion for cancer in "all patients with persistent upper GI [gastrointestinal ...

LASER PALLIATION FOR ESOPHAGEAL CARCINOMA
The Laryngoscope, 1986The treatment of esophageal carcinoma presents itself or evolves into a palliative situation. The most likely symptom to distress the patient is obstruction. It is necessary to have available a means of alleviating this symptom in a way that will be effective, comfortable, and efficient in terms of time and expense.

Radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma
World Journal of Surgery, 1981AbstractDuring the last 30 years, there have been improvements in radiotherapy not matched by improvements in earlier diagnosis. The screening program in the People's Republic of China is an exception. For lower incidence areas, greater patient and physician awareness and the addition of brushings, washings, and cytology to improved barium studies and ...

Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2007
Esophageal cancer is more than ever a surgical problem. Modern diagnostic procedures facilitate individual staging, and risk analysis is important for adequate patient selection. Using both allows an individualized indication. Under multimodal therapeutic protocols, neoadjuvant treatment can best be evaluated and is recommended in locally advanced ...
