“…Another variation was the use of thoracotomy for dissection of the esophagus [2,23]. However, in the 1970s transhiatal esophagectomy largely replaced the use of thoracotomy [14], with the exception of cases requiring either a mediastinal lymph node dissection or if the presence of tumor in the thoracic espophagus making blunt dissection of the esophagus unsafe [24][25][26][27][28]. Several authors have reported their thoracoscopic esophagectomy experience in these circumstances [29][30][31].…”

Gastric pull-up (GPU) is among the oldest techniques for reconstructing the pharyngoesophageal junction following cancer resection. This review examines morbidity and mortality rates following GPU pharyngoesophageal junction reconstruction from 1959 until present: 77 studies, 2,705 patients. The odds of mortality, anastomotic complications, and other complications decreased by 37.2% (95%CI = 28.0-45.3%; P < 0.0001), 8.0% (95%CI = -2.1 to 17.1%; P = 0.12), 21.0% (95%CI 3.5-35.2%; P = 0.021) per decade respectively.

“…Staged operations were performed for high-risk patients with thoracic esophageal cancer (21) stomy and tube-jejunostomy; this was followed by reconstruction three weeks later (21). This staged operation was performed in cases of extremely invasive total pharyngolaryngo-esophagectomy by adopting pharyngostomy (22,23). In the current case, we initially performed total PLE plus free jejunal transplantation, as previously reported (6).…”

Abstract. Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to clarify the treatment strategy for synchronous squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (ESCC) and head and neck cancer (HNC). Patients and MethodsThe multifocal development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is frequently observed in the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) including the head and neck region and the esophagus. The association of these cancers is observed both synchronously and metachronously (1). These cancers are highly aggressive and until relatively recently were usually associated with a dismal prognosis. Environmental factors such as cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking are closely related to the development of SCC of the UADT. Furthermore, we have reported that both heavy smoking and heavy drinking have synergistic effects on multi-centric carcinogenesis of the UADT (1, 2).Regarding the treatment strategy, surgical resection has been the gold standard of treatment for localized UADT cancer. However, this surgery is extremely invasive and is also associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity, especially in patients with esophageal cancer and pharyngeal cancer (3, 4). Patients with synchronous squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (ESCC) and head and neck cancer (HNC) often require for extremely complex and invasive surgical procedures in order to resect both lesions (5-7). The surgical procedures for synchronous double cancer therefore represent an important clinical problem.On the other hand, squamous cell carcinoma of the UADT is relatively sensitive to radiation and anticancer drugs such as 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin and paclitaxel (8-10). Definitive chemoradiotherapy is frequently indicated for ESCC while invasive esophagectomy is normally avoided (11). For patients with HNC, the preservation of the vocal function can be achieved if HNC is cured after definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Definitive CRT for synchronous ESCC and HNC is controversial due to the larger radiation field and associated toxicity (12). In our institute, simultaneous definitive CRT has been applied in the treatment of synchronous ESCC and HNC (13,14). Another problem is that salvage treatment, which is frequently troublesome, may be indicated in cases with either residual or recurrent cancer after definitive CRT (4,11).In this study, we reviewed the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in 91 patients with synchronous ESCC and HNC, and paid special attention to simultaneous surgical resection and simultaneous CRT for both cancers. 909

Surgical strategies for esophageal cancer associated with head and neck cancer

Esophageal cancer is frequently associated with squamous cell carcinoma in the head and neck. Both cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are risk factors for multiple cancers of the head and neck, as well as the esophagus. Routine screening and close follow-up for second cancers are important in patients with esophageal cancer or head and neck cancer. For this purpose, endoscopy with Lugol's staining, as well as narrow-band imaging combined with magnifying endoscopy, is a powerful tool for the early detection of esophageal cancer. Multimodal therapy is essential for patients with double cancers. When considering surgical treatment, the curability of both cancers must be carefully evaluated. If both tumors are potentially curable, each lesion should be treated individually. In patients with metachronous double cancers, the prior treatment of the first primary carcinoma often affects the treatment of the second cancer. Close cooperation among medical staff members is essential for complicated surgeries for double cancers. Techniques that are appropriate for each case must be adopted, such as careful dissection, staged operations, muscular flaps and microvascular anastomosis.
