  • Title: Cancer of the esophagus in Acadiana.
    Author: Rainey JM, Harwood AR, Crouch M.
    Journal: J La State Med Soc; 1994 Apr; 146(4):159-61. PubMed ID: 8006499.
    Abstract:
    Cancer of the esophagus is a frequently fatal cancer whose incidence appears to be increasing. In Acadiana, esophageal cancer occurs predominantly in males, with a higher incidence in black males. Results of surgical treatment, with or without other therapy, are dismal. Combined treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy improved survival when compared to surgery. Survival benefits with chemotherapy and radiotherapy are, unfortunately, modest at present.
