title: [Combined radiotherapy of esophageal cancer].
abstract: The paper is concerned with the results of combined radiotherapy of 60 esophageal cancer patients. Indications for combined radiotherapy were the minimum lumen of the esophagus (8-10 mm), limited local spreading of a tumor, and the absence of distant metastases. Among the patients there were 46 men, 14 women, their mean age was 56-8.3 yrs. The mean duration of life of the dead patients was 16.2-7.2 months. No cardiac or pulmonary complications were observed. The 3-year survival rate was 26.4-6.9% and the 5-year survival rate was 17.8-6.1%.
