Fifty-seven patients with resectable esophageal carcinoma were included in the study, Twenty-eight patients were submitted to a radical two-field esophagectomy and lymphadenectomy, while the remaining 29 were submitted to a standard, more conservative, esophagectomy performed mostly through a transhiatal route. The two groups of patients were similar in all clinical, laboratory and pathologic features, There was a significant lower anastomotic leakage rate in the group of patients submitted to a radical lymphnode resection; post-operative respiratory complication rate and mortality were similar in both groups. The overall 5-year survival was 20%, When lymph node resection was performed, the 5-year survival rate rose to 36%; it was 44% when nodal involvement was negative and 19% for N1 patients; when standard esophagectomy was the procedure, these figures were 9% (p < 0.05), 16% and 6% respectively.engjournal article1442-2050https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1442-2050.1999.00037.xhttps://academic.oup.com/dote/article/12/2/137/2419866?login=truerestricted access616-006.04Ciencias Biomédicas32 Ciencias Médicas
