title: [Care of esophageal cancer patients with diabetes mellitus--preoperative management and treatment].
abstract: The care of esophageal cancer patients with diabetes mellitus is described. The main points are as follows. 1. Prevention and control of infection. 2. Sufficient nutritional support (2000 Kcal/day) and hydration. 3. Control of plasma glucose level (150 mg/dl-250 mg/dl) by means of insulin. 4. An absence of ketone bodies and minimum glucose level (< 10 g/day) in the urine. 5. Prevention and control of hypoglycemia. Good control of diabetes mellitus in esophageal cancer patients may contribute to reduced surgical rislcs.
