    Author: Shao LF.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1993 Mar; 31(3):131-3. PubMed ID: 8223018.
    Abstract:
    204 patients with early esophageal and cardiac carcinomas were treated surgically. The survival rate of 5, 10, 15, 20 and over 25 years was 92.6%, 71.6% 62.7%, 50.9% and 48.0% respectively. Follow-up for 10-26 years showed that 88 patients died (13 lost to follow-up). Recurrent esophageal carcinoma accounted for 29.5% (26 Patients) and carcinoma of the second organ 21.6% (19). In this group, 4 patients with early infiltration carcinoma died from extensive metastasis after operation and 88.4% early esophageal carcinoma showed multiple foci. We consider that the principles for radical resection should also be followed for early esophageal carcinoma.
