[Factors affecting on long-time survival in patients with stage Ⅲ thoracic esophageal carcinoma after esophagectomy].
To retrospectively analyze the prognosis and its related factor in stage Ⅲ thoracic esophageal carcinoma after surgery. ⋯ The prognosis of stage Ⅲ esophageal carcinoma after two-field surgery is poor. TNM stage and postoperative adjuvant therapy are independent factors for OS and PFS. Postoperative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy can improve OS and PFS. Site of lesion is also associated with prognosis. The risk of disease progression could be increased in patients with severe adhesion at surgery or R1 resection.
