Oesophageal carcinoma is a bad, but not a hopeless, disease. Overall survival is poor but a 5-year survival rate in the region of 30% can be obtained with surgical resection in properly selected patients. In this review we outline our overall strategy for the management of patients with both localized and advanced disease, based on more than 1500 cases treated over the past 14 years.
食管癌是一种严重但并非毫无希望的疾病。总体生存率较低，但在经过适当选择的患者中，通过手术切除可获得约30%的5年生存率。在本综述中，我们根据过去14年中治疗的1500多例病例，概述了我们对局限性和晚期食管癌患者的总体治疗策略。
