[Operability and resectability of esophageal cancer].
An experience with treatment of 193 patients with carcinoma of the thoracic part of the esophagus during the recent 7 years is generalized. A characteristic of oncological and functional operability in patients of this group is given. More than half of them were elderly (41.9%) and senile (12.4%) patients. Radical operative interventions were thought to be possible in 161 patients (83.4%). Resections of the esophagus in combination with esophagogastro-or esophagoenteroplasty were performed in 146 of them. Resectability was 90.6%. Postoperative lethality was 9.9%. For the last 2 years resectability had increased up to 96%, while the postoperative lethality had decreased to 4%.
