- W4237014718 abstract "Carcinoma of the oesophagus is one of the most challenging conditions confronting the surgeon. Despite advances in perioperative care, oesophagectomy is associated with the highest mortality of any routinely performed elective surgical procedure. Adenocarcinomas accounts for 65% of oesophageal cancers in the UK, and their incidence in the western world has increased rapidly since the 1980s, particularly among white males, at a rate of about 5–10% per year. Early detection of symptomatic patients and endoscopic surveillance of high-risk groups (e.g. Barrett's oesophagus) is vital because outcome is strongly dependant on stage. Accurate disease staging using endoscopy, CT, endoscopic ultrasound and a detailed fitness assessment within a multidisciplinary setting is essential to determine treatment strategy. Resection for stage 1a and 2a tumours achieves good five-year survival, but surgery alone provides poor cure rates for more advanced disease. Patients with stage 2b/3 (node positive) disease should be considered for neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery using the OE02 regimen. Nevertheless, due to advanced disease and comorbidity, only one-third of patients are suitable for resection, while palliation is the basis of treatment for the remaining two-thirds, with an emphasis on quality of life. Therapeutic options for palliating dysphagia include expandable metal stents, external beam and intraliuminal radiotherapy, and chemotherapy." @default.
