The results of treatment in 74 patients treated in 1978-1990 for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus were retrospectively analyzed. The overall five-year survival was 7.8%, the median survival 10.0 months. Eighteen patients underwent a resection, in 13 patients with curative and in 5 patients with palliative intent. The median survival for these groups was 13.5 and 5.8 months, respectively. Thirty-one patients were irradiated. The response rate according to the WHO passage score was 79%. The median duration of response and survival was 6.0 and 9.5 months, respectively. Twenty patients were given palliative treatment, in the form of an endoprosthesis (10 patients), an endoprosthesis with chemotherapy (4 patients) or only chemotherapy (6 patients). The median duration of survival of patients in the palliative group was 6.5 months. The data are discussed in relation to results of treatment described in the literature. |
