  • Title: The history of surgery for carcinoma of the esophagus.
    Author: Pompili MF, Mark JB.
    Journal: Chest Surg Clin N Am; 2000 Feb; 10(1):145-51, x. PubMed ID: 10689533.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoma of the esophagus is a highly lethal disease in which surgical resection is part of every treatment regimen carried out with curative intent. The development of surgical resection of the esophagus for carcinoma has been a long and tortuous one. Its evolution depended not only on a thorough knowledge of surgical anatomy and technique, but also on important developments in endoscopy, radiology, anesthesia, nutrition, pulmonary physiology, and intensive care.
