摘要:
In order to define the evolution of airway invasion by esophageal cancer, we reviewed 53 patients presenting with (group A) or without (group B) tracheoesophageal fistulae. Patients in group A were treated by esophageal bypass (4), esophageal diversion (4), expectant therapy (4), or esophageal prosthesis (1). The median survival was 4 months. Group B patients were treated by esophageal resection (18), esophageal bypass (4), or radiation therapy (13), depending on the extent of local disease. Bronchoscopy was a valuable tool for predicting resectability. Surgical resection, when possible, yielded better palliation. There were 4 long-term survivors in group B.
