[Combined (radiation and surgical) treatment of esophageal cancer]

The article gives an analysis of results of the combined (radiation and surgery) treatment of carcinoma of the oesophagus. The results are estimated on the basis of an analysis of postoperative complications and survival of the patients during 3 and 5 years. The authors consider that the combined treatment does not only not complicate the operative intervention and postoperative management of the patients but also improves the remote results.
