| Popis: | Synchronous lung and esophageal cancers are rare but represent a unique challenge to thoracic surgeons. The literature is limited but series describe long-term survival with curative surgery for concomitant esophageal and lung cancer. Preoperative risk assessment is critical because surgical resection of both cancers requires adequate cardiopulmonary function and performance status. Chemotherapy and radiation are used as adjuvant therapy or as primary treatment of unresectable lesions. Although long-term survival for patients with concomitant lung and esophageal cancer is lower than that of patients with either one alone, survival with curative surgery is higher than that of patients with metastatic disease of either primary. |
