title: [Multivisceral and extended resection in tumor surgery--esophageal cancer].
abstract: Extended resections are strategies in the surgical treatment of cancer which provide large oncological safety margins: these are of particular relevance in the neck in view of the close anatomical relation of the major cervical organs. In the region of the distal esophagus, extended resections may be a reasonable alternative to conservative approaches even when only intended as a palliative treatment. The removal of metastases does not influence the outcome in patients with esophageal carcinoma, in contrast to simultaneous surgery of other malignancies.
