Abstract
|
|
|
Most patients with carcinoma of the cervico-thoracic esophagus present with locally advanced disease. For this reason, therapeutic efforts have been largely palliative, focused on eradicating locoregional disease, and have been attended by high
morbidith rates.
A 61 year old man was diagnosed to advanced cervicothoracic esophageal cancer(Type 1)and recieved concurrent chemo-radiotherapy for 2 months in St. Mary's Hospital. And then he underwent transhiatal subtotal esophagectomy and radical dissection
of
cervical and superior mediastinal lymph nodes with thoracoscopy. The histologic diagnosis was early esophageal cancer(Type 0-Iib, SM2)and the curability of operation was calculated to highly curative(CIII). And the postoperative course was
unevenful.
