ABSTRACT
One hundred seventy of patients with cervical esophageal carcinoma (30 cases were treated by pre-operative radiation and surgery (combined group), 27 cases by surgery alone, 113 cases by radical radiation). The doses of the preoperative radiation and the radiacal radiation were D T40 Gy/4w and above D T 50 Gy/5w, respectively. The 5 year survival rates were 40% in the combined group, 15.3% in surgry alone, and 28% in radical radiation groups. The difference of survival rates in the combined group and surgery alone was significantly different statistically. Factors affecting the survivals were lymphnode metastasis in radical radiation and recurrent larygeal nerve paralysis in the combined group. The main causes of failure were local residual and recurrence (71%) in radical radiation and lymphnode metastasis (81%) in the combined group. The authors believe that pre-operative radiation combined with surgery could improve the survival of cervical esophageal carcinoma. Radical radiation is also one of effective treatment methods for cercical esophageal carcinoma.
