“…The rescue esophagectomy has currently been disclosed once the exclusive chemoradiation presents an inherent failure of up to 60% with median survival of 12 to 18 months and a five-year survival rate of 10 to 30% 5,13,15,23,24,30,33 . However it is well known that the morbidity of the rescue esophagectomy is higher when compared to the conventional esophagectomy after neoadjuvant therapy 20,24,30 .…”

“…The state of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul bring together the majority of cases 9 . The delayed diagnosis, the excessive weight loss due to dysphagia and the association of cardiopulmonary diseases as a result of tobacco abuse, contribute to a challenging clinical control of the patients diagnosed with advanced esophageal carcinoma, leaving the physician in charge with very few therapeutic possibilities 4,23 . Data from various specialized treatment centers indicate that only 30-40% of patients are actually submitted to a radical esophagectomy, what leads to a very unfavorable prognosis 10,18,23 .…”

“…For T staging, CT is not able to consistently determine the depth of primary tumor invasion [15,16]. For regional lymph node involvement, the overall accuracy of CT is approximately 50 to 70 % [17]. Because size is the criterion used to define malignant nodes on CT, CT is inherently unable to detect metastases in normal-sized nodes and may identify enlarged, reactive nodes as malignant, leading to false positives.…”

“…A ressecção cirúrgica tornou-se o tratamento considerado padrão ouro para o câncer de esôfago a partir da déca-da de 40, com índices globais de cura variando de 15 a 40% (sendo menos de 5% para os estágios avançados) [4][5][6] . Há algumas décadas a mortalidade operatória girava em torno de 10%, sendo hoje menos de 5% em centros de referência 7,8 .…”
