title: [The life expectancy of patients radically treated for esophageal cancer at high altitude].
abstract: Postoperative lethality among patients who lived under high-altitude conditions proved to be higher than that among patients who lived at low altitudes before operations. Evidently, the terms of disadaptation at the preoperative period can influence the persons who lived under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia. It has been found that the cumulative 3-years survival rate of the esophageal cancer patients after the surgical treatment shows a two-fold rise as compared with that after the combined therapy, but the 5-years survival rate was almost the same.
