XXXX and esophagogastric junction: analysis of results of 1,025 resections after 5 to 20 years.

@entity1 @entity5 @entity957 @entity418 @entity3 @entity420
Resection was carried out in 1,025 of 1,654 @entity1 with @entity5 or esophagogastric junction at the Peking Medical College Hospitals in China from 1953 through 1973. All @entity5 of the esophagus were @entity957 except for five @entity420 . A lesion localized within the esophageal wall was found in 55% and lymph node @entity3 in 41.3% of the @entity1 undergoing resection. All @entity5 of the esophagogastric junction were @entity420 . The @entity5 had invaded beyond the boundaries of the stomach in 76.7% of these @entity1 , and positive nodes were found in 61% of the @entity1 . The rate of resectability was 81.2% for @entity418 and 74% for @entity5 of the esophagogastric junction. Surgical mortality after resection was 4.9% (50/1,025). The 5-year survival after resection was 20.9% (214/1,025). Better results were found following complete resection: 24% (210/875) for all @entity1 , 28.2% (162/575) for @entity1 with @entity5 , and 16% (48/300) for @entity1 with @entity5 of the esophagogastric junction. Late survival at 10, 15, and 20 years after resection of @entity418 was 20%, 12%, and 7.4%, respectively. The favorable prognostic factors after resection of @entity418 were @entity5 of the lower third of the esophagus, the absence of lymph node involvement, and the presence of a localized lesion. The 5-year survival for @entity1 with @entity5 of the lower third of the esophagus was 32.7%. It was 64.2% for @entity1 with a localized lesion with negative nodes in this subgroup.
