[Study on surgical resection length of esophageal carcinoma: an analysis of 2325 cases of the resected samples with esophageal carcinoma].
The paper studied the relationship between the resected length above and below the esophageal carcinoma and positive rate of the residual carcinoma in the resected rims. The positive rates of the carcinoma were 65.0%, 17.2%, 12.3%, 10.6%, 6.7%, 5.8%, 4.0%, 3.1%, 2.0%, 0.9% and 0% respectively while the length of the resected esophagus above and below the carcinoma was 1-10 cm and 10 cm respectively. The results shown that it would be the best for all patients with esophaged carcinoma to resect esophagus more than 10 cm in length above and below the carcinoma respectively.
