title: [Prognosis of cardia carcinoma].
abstract: Based on a material of 223 patients treated for cardia carcinoma the surgical problems and the results after palliative, radical and enlarged resection are discussed. In the early stage without nodular involvement (I) in 72% of the radically operated patients a 5-years and 10-years cure could be obtained, in relation to all patients observed the success, however, is only 10% for 5-years and 8% for 10-years cure. This is caused by the fact that stage I was found in only 10% of the patients admitted to our hospital. The need for a close observation programm for clearly defined high risk groups must be pointed out and the possibilities of a special postoperative adjunct therapy should be fully used.
