Although carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus was well known by the early nineteenth century, surgical removal of these tumors was stifled for several reasons. The pioneer work of Drs. Adams and Phemister was a major step in the development of an esophagogastrectomy that is still performed.
尽管早在19世纪初人们就已经熟知胸段食管癌，但由于多种原因，这些肿瘤的手术切除一直受到阻碍。亚当斯医生和费米斯特医生的开创性工作是食管胃切除术发展过程中的重要一步，这种手术至今仍在进行。
