青年食管癌患者临床特点的探讨

The Clinical Features of Esophageal Carcinoma in Young Patients

根据３２例青年食管癌患者（＜４０岁）的临床资料，总结了它的６个临床特点：遗传易感性低，男性多发，误诊率高，病变好发中段，手术切除率高，并发症少。提示：对于青年食管癌患者，应争取早期诊断、早期治疗。对于那些发现较晚的病例，亦应根据情况适当放宽其手术适应症，并给予辅助治疗。

From 1965 to 1996,940 patients with esophageal carcinoma were treated in our hospital. 32 cases aged less than 40 years old, accounting for 3.4% of all the patients.We could summarized their six clinical features from the records: a: lower heredity, b:preponderance in male,c:higher misdiagnosis rate ,d:predominant mid esophageal localization, e:higher removal rate,f:less postoperative complication.These tendencies suggested that:for the young patients with esophageal carcinoma,one should diagnose and operate as early as possible.And for those who had been diagnosed late surgical and adjuvant treatment could also be offered.
