“…There has been only one paper, case reports by Adams in [74], on postoperative radiotherapy; he did not, however, discuss prognosis. Based on our previous experience with poor prognosis in patients treated with preoperative radiotherapy (a high dose for a short period), postoperative radiotherapy was systematically started at our institution in 1970.…”

“…This combined with supervoltage roentgen ray therapy of the residual tumor might well be of some benefit. Adams and his associates 35 have mentioned such postoperative roentgen ray therapy, and their results will be of great interest. SUMMARY A summary of a small group of 54 patients with carcinoma of the esophagus and the cardia has been undertaken, and the results in terms of months of palliation achieved by operative procedures are submitted.…”

“…Administration of a tumor dose of approximately 6,000 rads results in palliation for a large percentage of patients. 1 Since such a high percentage of patients show temporary marked improvement in swallowing, as shown by the esophagram, and in general well-being, it seemed logical to under- take a study of preoperative radiation followed by surgical excision. In our own experience, radiation therapy has resulted in significant palliation in approximately 60% of patients.…”

“…16 Postoperative radiation therapy has also been used. 1 Since such a high percentage of patients show temporary marked improvement in swallowing, as shown by the esophagram, and in general well-being, it seemed logical to under- take a study of preoperative radiation followed by surgical excision. Previous experience in other institutions, which included a reported case of a patient who survived more than 3 years after preoperative irradiation and esophagectomy for a previously inoperable lesion,6 was the background for this plan.…”
