Abstract: Esophageal cancer is one of the common tumors in China. Esophageal perforation is a common complication of esophageal carcinoma. Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of esophageal perforation of esophageal carcinoma at home and abroad. Twenty-seven articles were selected from PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang database between 1997 to December 2017. The mechanism of esophageal perforation and clinical characteristics in these 27 articles were analyzed. Surgery can improve the survival rate, but the risk of perioperative complications may be increased. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with nutritional support can significantly improve the survival rate.
