The role of surgery and other treatment options for esophageal cancer continue to evolve. As more patients receive definitive chemoradiotherapy, salvage esophagectomy has emerged as an important treatment for local and regional failure. Although initial reports found high morbidity and mortality, more recent studies have found improvements in both perioperative complications and long term survival following salvage resection. We review the emerging role of salvage esophagectomy.
食管癌手术及其他治疗选择的作用在不断演变。随着越来越多的患者接受确定性放化疗，挽救性食管切除术已成为治疗局部和区域失败的重要方法。尽管最初的报告发现其发病率和死亡率较高，但最近的研究发现，挽救性切除术后围手术期并发症和长期生存率均有所改善。我们综述了挽救性食管切除术的新作用。
