title: [Cancer of the oesophagus, towards a standardization of treatment, resulting from the study on 2400 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: On the occasion of the meeting in Paris (September 1979) of the European Societies of Surgery, the results of the statistical study of 2400 resections of oesophageal cancers, carried out by 22 different surgical teams, were presented by R. Giuli and M. Gignoux. Following this Congress, the same teams decided to remain together, to go on further with the important retrospective results already acquired and to attempt to reach a harmonizing of the concepts in different fields of oesophageal cancer pathology, (especially in those of therapeutical means of treatment, criteria of operability, anatomo-pathological conclusions, per and postoperative care, and immunological peculiarities). The basis of a vast controlled statistical study was established and the first results are presently in the midst of being brought together by the surgical group which united under the sign O.E.S.O. (Organization Européenne d'études Statistiques pour les maladies de l'OEsophage, European Organization for Statistical studies on OEsophageal diseases). The President of Honour is Professor J.L. Lortat-Jacob.
