[Comparative evaluation of various surgical and combined methods of treatment of patients with esophageal cancer].
The work gives a comparative analysis of the results of treatment of 267 patients with carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus by different variants of surgical intervention and preoperative irradiation. The results show that separation of surgical treatment into two or more stages fails to reduce postoperative lethality. Preoperative irradiation does not lead to increase of postoperative lethality and increases 5-year survival of patients as compared to the survival of patients treated by surgery alone. Five-year survival after radical operations was 12.3 +/- 1.2 per cent and after combined treatment it was 24.5 +/- 2.8 per cent. None of the patients who were subjected to palliative operations lived for more than 5 years.
