Abstract

Cancer of the esophagus occurs quite frequently but the disease has been neglected because of the surgeons' inability to cope with it. Advancements in anesthesiology, understanding of nutrition and improved surgical technic have now made surgical therapy of the disease more feasible. Early recognition is essential to satisfactory treatment. The early symptoms, diagnostic technics and treatment methods are discussed, as well as the importance of adequate postoperative care.
