Objective: Retrospectively, we evaluated esophageal cancer surgery cases in the affiliated hospitals.
Methods: We survey the number of surgery, surgical procedure, and pathological type for esophageal cancer between January 2011 and December 2015 by questionnaire.
Results: The hospital which cooperated with a questionnaire was 16 in 19 (84.2%). Sixteen hospitals answered the number of esophageal cancer surgery, and total number was 68 cases. In these cases, surgical procedure was observed as follows; Sixty-two right thoracotomy (91.2%), 1 left thoratico-abdominal approach (1.5%), 4 transhiatal approach (5.8%), and 1 cervical esophagectomy (1.5%). Pathological type was observed as follows; Sixty-four squamous cell carcinomas (94.2%) and 4 adenocarcinomas (5.8%).
Conclusions: Right thoracotomy was most frequent approach for esophageal cancer surgery in this study. Additional data collection is required in order to evaluate the factors related to clinical course and treatment strategy. Therefore, we plan to conduct a perspective clinical trial in cooperation with affiliated hospitals.
