title: [Factors influencing survival after resection of cancer of the cardia. Comparison of total esophagogastrectomy and upper pole esophagogastrectomy].
abstract: Total oesophagogastrectomy (TOG) is the best surgical technique for carcinoma of the cardia. However, oesophagogastric anastomosis is easier in upper pole oesophagogastrectomy (UPOG). This is a retrospective study excluding post-operative deaths and palliative surgery. We studied the factors affecting the survival and then compared TOG (n = 15) and UPOG (n = 26) in carcinomas of the cardia. Bad prognosis was related to several factors: poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas, tumor size, lymph node involvement and residual tumor at the resection margins. The survival rate of resected carcinomas of the cardia was 22 +/- 13%. No difference was noted between extended and limited resections. 5-year survival after UPOG was 20 + 18% and after TOG 11% (0-30) (p = 0.21). In stage 1B, 5-year survival after UPOG 11% and TOG was 50% (19-81) and 33% (0-82) (p = 0.54). In stages II and III A, 3-year survival after UPOG and TOG was 7% (0-20) and 0% (p = 0.16). For a given tumor size, 5-year survival is the same whatever the technique.
