[Report of 125 esophageal carcinomas (author's transl)].
This report concerns our experience in the treatment of 125 patients with carcinoma of the esophagus during 17 years (excluding the cardiac region of the stomach). In our material predisponsing factors had no effect upon the age of the patients. The symptomatology is described, the causes of postoperative complications and mortality are discussed. The principal indications are mentioned and technical considerations are summariced. Radical tumor resection resulted in a 2 year survival rate of 23 percent. Palliativ resections in cases of advanced carcinoma are refused because of the high mortality rate and the small expectation of life.
