Abstract

There has been in the past quarter-century a definite, though perhaps not spectacular, improvement in the outlook for the patient with gastrointestinal tract cancer. Cancer of the esophagus, particularly of the lower third, is no longer universally fatal. Cancer of the stomach, colon, and rectum also have an improved outlook.
