Prognostic factors in clinical T1N0M0 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma invading the muscularis mucosa or submucosa
BACKGROUND Multimodality treatment is widely performed for clinical T1N0M0 (UICC-TNM classification, 7th edition) thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but available articles regarding treatment results are limited. This study assessed the outcomes of clinical T1N0M0 thoracic ESCC invading the muscularis mucosa (MM) or submucosa (SM) treated with radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiothe...

There are unfortunately a relatively large number of cases of esophageal cancer in Iran as well as other countries, and one of the most difficult problems facing surgeons is the reconstruction of the esophagus and restoration of its function after excision of the tumor. From 1978 to 1987,20 patients (16 male, 4 female) ranging in age from 22 to 68 years were surgically treated for squamous...
متن کاملSurgical results of upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Due to its anatomical location, carcinoma of the upper thoracic esophagus (i.e. below the thoracic inlet and above the carina) often results in early invasion of adjacent structures and precludes radical resection. The prognosis of carcinoma of the upper thoracic esophagus was considered worse than that of distal esophagus. There are few studies specifically addressing the prognostic...
متن کاملTreatment outcomes and prognostic factors for thoracic esophageal cancer with clinical evidence of adjacent organ invasion.
BACKGROUND/AIM The status of each patient with advanced esophageal cancer varies widely, and the prognosis is generally poor. We aimed to determine which prognostic factors are involved in the management of locally advanced esophageal cancer with adjacent organ invasion. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated the therapeutic outcomes of 74 patients with thoracic esophageal cance...
