Abstract

Background: Therapy for oesophageal carcinoma is a subject of controversial debate. The aim of this study is to answer the question how the therapeutic decision in patients with operable, nonmetastatic oesophageal cancer should be made. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature research regarding different therapeutic strategies in patients with oesophageal cancer was undertaken. Results: Multiple criteria influence the therapy for oesophageal carcinoma. Radical oesophagectomy in a multimodal setting is the therapy of choice. Definitive chemoradiation is a conservative option for high risk patients. Conclusion: Therapeutic decisions in patients with oesophageal cancer should only be made after standardised staging and accurate risk analysis.
