[Results of complex treatment of patients with thoracic esophageal cancer].

In the open, comparative, non-randomized and prospective study conducted from 2007 to 2014 there were included 83 patients who received combined treatment for thoracic esophageal cancer. For a comparative analysis there was used a retrospective control group of 51 patients with esophageal cancer who had undergone surgery alone from 1999 to 2014. Complex treatment of patients with advanced forms of thoracic esophageal cancer included argon-plasma recanalization of the lumen of the esophagus followed by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in two versions.

[MINIMALLY INVASIVE ESOPHAGECTOMY].

During the period from April 2012 to December 2014 54 patients aged 29-76 years, 36 (66.6%) males and 18 (33.4%) females, with esophageal cancer underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy as final phase of treatment.

[Immediate and long-term results of brachytherapy in complex treatment for esophageal cancer].

For treatment of cancer of the thoracic esophagus, the method of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with a use of intraluminal brachytherapy (BT) was performed. The study included 51 patients (mean age 56.9 ± 4.

[Experience of the use of endovideotechnology in surgical treatment of esophageal cancer].

An investigation included 33 patients with cancer of thoracal section of the esophagus at the age from 42 to 74 years old. A surgical method of treatment was applied as only one in 13 patients and methods of nonadjuvant chemoradiation therapy were used for 20 patients. A hybrid minimally invasive esophagectomy (laparoscopic mobilization of the stomach and right-side thoracotomy) was performed on 16 patients.
