title: [Conservative treatment of locally advanced and inoperable esophageal cancer: possible methods and future directions].
abstract: This is an analysis of treatment results data for conservative (endosurgical and radiation therapy) treatment of patients with inoperable locally advanced esophageal cancer receiving therapy in 1990-2011. The original treatment tactics including recanalization of tumor-compressed esophageal lumen (argon plasma coagulation +/- high-frequency surgery or chemical tumor necrolysis) with consequent combined radiotherapy resulted in clinical response in 79,5% of cases, 89,3% of patients retained the possibility of enteral nutrition. One-year overall survival (OS) was 68,9% (58,8% in patients receiving combined radiotherapy), 2-year OS was 22,7% and 21,2% respectively.
