Clinical data from 175 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus or cardia admitted to Songklanagarind Hospital between 1982 and 1988 were analysed to evaluate the effects on survival of various tumour and treatment variables. Most tumours (greater than = 86%) were in stage III or IV. Forty-seven percent of stage-IV tumours and 99 per cent of those in stages I, II or III were resectable. One-year and 3-year survival rates of resected stage-III patients (57.3% and 27.5%) were significantly higher than those of resected stage-IV patients (33.3% and 0%). Resection conferred no benefit over radiotherapy chemotherapy or no treatment on the survival of stage-IV cases beyond one year. Combined chemotherapy/radiotherapy/resection of stage-III and stage-IV patients gave no statistically significant improvement in survival. Among resected patients, only lymph node involvement was associated with significantly lower survival (relative risk compared to no involvement = 2.3, 95% CL: 1.2, 4.6), while the fungating type of tumour was possibly associated with improved survival (relative risk compared with all other types = 0.24, 95% CL: 0.05, 1.1).
