An interview was conducted to determine the quality of life, both objectively and subjectively, in 64 patients without a recurrence of the disease more than one year after esophageal resection and reconstruction with a gastric tube for carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus. Despite the decrease in body weight, the patients appeared to be well adjusted and had a most optimistic attitude toward their illness. The laboratory data showed normal values, postoperatively. As there was no evidence of a diminished quality of life in these patients, we consider that physicians should recommend surgical therapy for patients with carcinoma of the esophagus.
对64例因胸段食管癌行食管切除并用胃管重建且术后疾病无复发超过一年的患者进行了访谈，以客观和主观地确定其生活质量。尽管体重有所下降，但患者似乎适应良好，对自己的病情持非常乐观的态度。术后实验室数据显示各项值均正常。由于这些患者没有生活质量下降的迹象，我们认为医生应该为食管癌患者推荐手术治疗。
