Seventy-five patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus were evaluated over a 5-year period. Most of the patients had advanced-stage cancer when first seen. Only 50% were surgically explored, and 33% underwent resection. Operative mortality was 8%. Despite the immediate and durable palliation provided by surgical resection, survival rates were poor. Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical resection are the main hopes for improved long-term results.
在5年期间对75例食管鳞状细胞癌患者进行了评估。大多数患者初诊时已处于癌症晚期。仅50%的患者接受了手术探查，33%的患者接受了切除术。手术死亡率为8%。尽管手术切除能带来即时且持久的缓解，但生存率仍很低。早期诊断和积极的手术切除是改善长期治疗效果的主要希望。
