pubmed:abstractText |
The use of cytoreductive therapy followed by surgery is preferred by many centers dealing with locally advanced esophageal cancer. However, the potential for increase in mortality and morbidity rates has raised concerns on the use of chemoradiation therapy, especially in elderly patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of induction therapy on postoperative mortality and morbidity in elderly patients undergoing esophagectomy for locally advanced esophageal cancer at a single institution.
