Abstract:
From January 1977 to December 1988, 279 cases of esophageal carcinoma were proved to be stage Ⅰ andⅡ A after operation. Within 5 years of the operation, 103 cases have failed. The failure was closely related to TNM stages. The regional and esophageal bed failure were obviously related to the site of the original lesion. Twelve of these 279 patients recieved postoperative radiotherapy. The incidence of intra-portal recurrence was lower in those who received postoperative radiotherapy than those who did not, although hematogenous metastasis was similar in these two groups. The 5-year survival rate with no evidence of cancer was higher in patients who received postoperative irradiation.
