Resumen

ADEFNA PEREZ, Radamés I et al. Resultados del uso de la prótesis transtumoral en el cáncer de esófago avanzado. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2000, vol.39, n.3, pp.213-216. ISSN 0034-7493.

Esophagus cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasias and it reaches epidemic proportions in some countries. In spite of the diagnostic advances, 50% of the patients will recieve only a palliative treatment. Transtumoral intubation is one of these techniques used to alliviate dysphagia and to allow deglutition. A prospective research was made among patients with advanced esophagus carcinoma from 1993 to 1997 in order to evaluate its usefulness. 22 patients were selected: 15 (68,1%), in stage IV; 3 (13,6%), with tracheoesophageal fistulas; and 4 (18,1%), with no consent for a curative operation. The prosthesis used was that of Häring, which was placed by traction. Males were the most affected, 81,8%. The commonest localization was the mean third, 63,6%. Epidermoid carcinoma was diagnosed in all patients. There was no operative mortality. Survival after a year was of 3 patients (13,6%). There were no complications related to the use of the prosthesis
