Abstract
A history of caustic injury was obtained in 12 of 846 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. The average age was 52.8 yr; the interval from injury to development of carcinoma was 45.8 yr. Nine of the 12 carcinomas were in the midthoracic segment. Resection was possible in 9 patients, with 2 surviving more than 10 yr. A survey of reported series with this association confirms the increased resection rate and probability of long survival compared with the usual carcinoma of the esophagus.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
