title: [The combined radio-chemotherapy of inoperable esophageal cancer].
abstract: In a period of almost 6 years three various therapeutic methods of inoperable oesophagus carcinoma were applied. The best survival was attained by a combination of irradiation with 5-FU-infusions and bleomycin. The mean survival was 8 months, contrary to 4 months by a combination irradiation/5-FU-infusions and 5 months by unique radiotherapy. Further analyses to radio-chemotherapy of inoperable oesophagus carcinoma are desirable with that to improve the survival of these tumors further on.
