From January 1969 to December 1980, 8,948 patients with esophageal carcinoma were registered in Japan. Among these patients, 5,506 underwent resection. The ten-year survival rate was 12.3 percent for all registered patients and 18.7 percent for resected cases. Female patients had significantly better survival rates than male patients. Depth of invasion correlated better with ten-year survival than the superficial extent of the tumor. The TNM classification revised in 1987 was examined in relation to the survival, and it was found to have good prognostic value.
1969年1月至1980年12月期间，日本登记了8948例食管癌患者。在这些患者中，5506例接受了手术切除。所有登记患者的十年生存率为12.3%，手术切除病例的十年生存率为18.7%。女性患者的生存率明显高于男性患者。肿瘤浸润深度与十年生存率的相关性比肿瘤的表面范围更好。对1987年修订的TNM分类与生存率的关系进行了研究，发现其具有良好的预后价值。
