Abstract
Objective: The role of en bloc esophagectomy in the surgical treatment of patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer is not well defined. This report attempts to elucidate its impact on survival, in comparison with less extensive resection, among patients with stage III disease. Methods: A prospectively established database was retrospectively analyzed. Results: One hundred twenty-eight patients underwent esophagectomy for carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus between 1988 and 1996 (78 underwent en bloc resection and 50 underwent standard resection). The 30-day and hospital mortality rates were 3.9% and 5.4%, respectively, comparable for the two procedures. Fifty-four patients had stage III disease. Overall 4-year survival was 34.5% after en bloc resection, with a median survival of 27 months ( n = 33), and 11% after standard resection ( n = 21), with a median survival of 12 months ( p = 0.007). Among patients with stage III disease undergoing a complete resection, 4-year survivals were 36.7% and 0% after en bloc and standard resections, respectively ( p = 0.001). Eighty-six of 128 patients had nodal metastasis. Three-year survivals for patients with N1 disease were 33.9% and 13% after en bloc and standard resections, respectively ( p = 0.02). Conclusion: Among patients with stage III esophageal cancer, en bloc resection appears to significantly improve survival compared with lesser resections. This improvement in survival may be attributable to resection of nodal disease.
