    Abstract:
    A total of 650 patients including 452 with esophageal and 198 with cardiac cancers from different nationalities in Xingjiang were treated by surgery in this department from 1978 to January 1990. The total resectability was 85.4% (555/650), with a higher in the esophagus group (83.5%) and a lower in the cardia group (78.3%). Postoperative complications happened in 63 (10.5%) cases, including anastomotic leakage in 29 (5.2%) cases and intrathoracic leakage in 19 (3.4%) cases. Operative mortality was 3.4% (22 cases). Finally the incidence rate of the disease among different nationalities, the criteria of selection of patients for operation and the technique of operation were discussed.
