title: [Metastasis as a prognostic factor in cancer of the thoracic segment of the esophagus].
abstract: Prognostic value of metastases is analyzed on the basis of the results of surgical and combined treatment of 631 cases with carcinoma of the thoracic portion of the esophagus. The metastasizing factor was found to correlate with the depth of the tumor invasion and size. The presence of metastases reduces the possibility of radical operations and lowers the index of 5-year survival.
