Clinical and pathological findings in 15 patients with carcinoma of the midthoracic esophagus were analyzed. The author concluded that preoperative radiotherapy reduces tumor size and improves resectability. Longer follow-up is required to determine whether or not preoperative radiotherapy improves survival rates in these patients.
