The survival rate of patients with carcinoma of the esophagus is dismal. Improvement could be achieved only by earlier diagnosis and radical resection techniques to remove the esophagus and its draining lymphatic bed. En bloc esophagectomy and esophagectomy with three-field lymph node dissection are practiced in some centers in North America, Europe, and Japan. Survival rates with these techniques are better than those obtained with standard resection techniques.
食管癌患者的生存率很低。只有通过早期诊断和采用根治性切除技术切除食管及其引流淋巴组织床，才能提高生存率。北美、欧洲和日本的一些中心采用整块食管切除术和三野淋巴结清扫食管切除术。采用这些技术的生存率高于采用标准切除技术的生存率。
