Abstract:To explore the survival status of surgical treatment of stage Ⅲ esophageal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 96 patients with esophageal cancer were analyzed retrospectively. According to the follow-up results, the 1 year, 3-year and 5-year survival rate of esophageal cancer were collected. The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to their living condition for 5 years. The sex ratio, age distribution, operation style, tumor diameter, pathologic type, chronic disease and pathologic stump resection were compared between the two groups. T staging, N staging, TMN staging and postoperative adjuvant therapy were used to determine the factors influencing 5-year survival rate of patients with gallbladder carcinoma after operation. The factors influencied the 5-year survival rate of gallbladder carcinoma were determined. Results The 1-year survival rate was 74.0% (71/96), 3-year survival rate was 33.3% (32/96), 5-year survival rate was 26.0% (25/96), and the mean survival time was 24.1 months. The surgical approach,the tumor site, N stage, TMN staging and adjuvant treatment were relevant factors in the surgical treatment of 5-year survival of patients with esophageal cancer Ⅲ. TMN stage and postoperative adjuvant therapy were the independent influencing factors of 5-year survival rate in patients with stage Ⅲesophageal cancer. There were statistically difference in the 5-year survival rate of patients with stage Ⅲa after receiving differentadjuvant therapy. There was no significant difference in the survival rate of patients with Ⅲb and Ⅲc after 5 years of different adjuvant therapy. Conclusions TMN staging and postoperative adjuvant therapy are the independent prognostic factors for the 5-year survival rate of patients with stage Ⅲesophageal carcinoma. For the late clinical stage of patients, 5-year survival rate is lower, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively improve the survival of patients.
