Reductions in smoking and smokeless tobacco use could prevent many of the approximately 12, 300 new cases and 12, 100 deaths from esophgeal cancer that occur annually.

Imaging by MR (MRI) and esophageal barium meal of 17 cases of hypopharyngeal and cervical esophageal cancer were analyzed.

We studied the pattern of recurrence and causes of death after esophagectomy for patients with esophageal carcinoma, and analyzed the survival time and risk factors for recurrence of these patients.
