[Esophagocolonoplasty in the palliative treatment of cancer of the esophagus].
Treatment of cancer of the upper and middle thirds of the oesophagus is discussed. Should the condition be handled in radical or palliative fashion? In the light of the discouraging results obtained by most workers with radical therapy, palliative measures are favoured. Possible operations are listed and a personal case of palliative ileocolonesophagoplasty of about a year's standing and another operated on only two months previously are reported and preoperative and postoperative documentation given.
