The assessment of operability of esophageal carcinoma

GF Murray, BR Wilcox and PJ Starek

The extremely poor outlook for patients with esophageal cancer necessitates careful definition of the extent of disease prior to the selection of treatment. Evaluation of regional lymph node involvement may avoid excessive morbidity and identify favorable candidates for aggressive excisional therapy. The role of combined mediastinoscopy and celiotomy in assessing the operability of epidermoid carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus was examined in 30 consecutive candidates for esophageal resection at the North Carolina Memorial Hospital. The prognostic value of combined mediastinoscopy and celiotomy in assessing the operability of epidermoid value in assessing mediastinal extension of carcinoma of the upper thoracic and midthoracic esophagus.
