| Popis: | During the period 1978–1984, 525 patients referred with cancer of the oesophagus or gastro-oesophageal junction were assessed for operation and cure. After investigation, 276 patients were selected and operaten upon, as a rule, 4 weeks after radiotherapy (40 Gy/4 weeks). In 224 patients (81 per cent) the oesophagus and cardia were resected and reconstructed with stomach (69 per cent), colon (21 per cent), free ileal graft (7 per cent) or Roux-en-Y-oesophagojejunostomy (3 per cent). The postresectional hospital mortality was 14 per cent in all patients and decreased to 5 per cent in 1983. Mortality was higher when the colon was used for reconstruction than when the stomach was used. By postresection staging, 82 patients were found to have stages I and II tumours and 14. patients stage III tumours. Estimated 3-year survival after resection for all male patients was 28 per cent and for all female patients was 42 per cent. Estimated 3-year survival for all patients treated for adenocarcinoma was 31 per cent. Survival was better for stages I and II patients with adenocarcinoma (52 per cent) than for stage III patients (18 per cent) (P |
