Abstract
Forty-seven patients with oesophageal carcinoma were managed in 6 years' time. Average duration of illness was 5.5 months. History of chronic smoking and/or tobacco chewing was present in 80.85% of patients. Carcinoma included squamous cell variety (80.85%) and adenocarcinoma (19.15%). Thirty-one patients were in stage III while 16 patients were in stage II. Surgery included oesophagogastrectomy/oesophagogastrostomy (16 patients), feeding gastrostomy (11 patients), Mousseau-Barbin tube insertion (10 patients), only 10 patients were subjected to palliative radiotherapy. All patients after palliative treatment died within one year whereas 3-year and 5-year survivals after oesophagogastrectomy/oesophagogastrostomy were 68.75% and 31.25% respectively. Local lymph node metastasis adversely affected the 5-year survival rate.
