[Diagnosis and long-term results of surgical resection of early cardiac adenocarcinoma].

Objective: To summarize therapeutic experience and the long-term results of early cardiac adenocarcinoma with surgical resection.

Methods: Ninety cases were diagnosed with early cardiac adenocarcinoma during endoscopic screening in high incidence rate area of esophageal cancer from 1972 to 1997. All of the patients accepted surgical treatment.

[Surgical treatment of primary esophageal adenocarcinoma].

Objective: To summarize the surgical treatment and clinical bio-characteristics of primary esophageal adenocarcinoma (PEAC).

Methods: Clinical data of 43 cases with PEAC who had undergone operation from February 1980 to December 2000 in Linzhou City Esophageal Tumor Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Forty-three cases PEAC were reported in this study, which were 0.

[Surgical treatment of severe cicatricial anastomotic stricture after esophagectomy for esophageal and cardiac cancer].

Objective: To review the experience of the surgical procedure in the treatment of postoperative severe cicatricial anastomotic stricture for esophageal cancer and cardiac cancer.

Methods: Twenty-four cases with severe anastomotic strictures and dysphagia after esophagectomy underwent second operation. The anastomosis was opened by two small transverse incisions about 1-2 mm above and below the anastomotic line.

Long-term results of operation for 420 patients with early squamous cell esophageal carcinoma discovered by screening.

Background: Cancer of the esophagus is one of the most commonly seen malignancies in China. From 1959 to 1981, mass screening of esophageal cancer disclosed that the age-adjusted incidence in the 40- to 69-year-old population in Lin County, Henan Province, was 470/10(5) In its northern part, an even higher incidence of 760/10(5)was found. As they were discovered by mass screening, most of them were found to have early lesions.
