We analyzed the records of patients with carcinoma of the lower esophagus and cardia. Mediastinal node involvement was found in 43% of the patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower esophagus, and the 5-year survival after mediastinal dissection for patients with mediastinal node involvement was 27%. Mediastinal node involvement was found in 19% of the patients with adenocarcinoma of the cardia involving the esophagus, and no patients with mediastinal node involvement survived more than 2 years. When the patients had mediastinal node involvement, survival curves were significantly different. There were large differences between these tumors in terms of the extent of lymph node involvement and the survival of patients with mediastinal lymph node involvement. It is incorrect to consider the behavior of these tumors identical and to treat the conditions similarly.: 1996 by the Société Internationale de Chir, ugie Tachimori Yuji Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut Kato Hoichi Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut Watanabe Hiroshi Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut Sasako Mitsuru Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut Kinoshita Taira Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut Maruyama Keiichi Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut https://doi.org/10.1007/s002689900080 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s002689900080 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Tachimori Yuji Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Kato Hoichi Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Watanabe Hiroshi Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sasako Mitsuru Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Kinoshita Taira Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Maruyama Keiichi Department of Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, 1-1 Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104, Japan, JP aut Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
