[About the surgical treatment of oesophageal cancer]
Abstract:
Oesophageal cancer is among the most malignant tumors with bad prognosis. Surgery offers the best chance for treatment. Subjects of our retrospective study are 56 patients with oesophageal cancer, treated at the Clinic of thoracic and abdominal surgery, University Hospital-Plovdiv, for 9 years period. Palliative surgery was performed at 18 of the patients, and resection of the oesophagus at 38 of them. Neoesophagus from the stomach we made in 30 of the patients, and in 9--from large intestine. In radically treated complications were observed in 14 (36.8%) cases. Six (15.8%) patients died.
