Abstract: Objective:To explore the diagnosis,surgical treatment and preoperative management for esophageal cancer,improve preoperative diagnosis rate,curative effect and reduce complications.Methods:All of 80 cases were diagnosed by barium meal radiography and gastroscope,and all were treated with surgical methods and carefully preoperative management.Results:Surgical radical resection rate was 97.5%(78/80).Postoperative complications were including 6 cases of leakage,1 case of anastomotic stricture,2 cases of anastomotic bleeding,1 case of chylothorax and 9 cases of lung infection.There was no death case during one month after operation.Conclusions:Esophageal cancer must be diagnosed by barium meal and gastroscope,which can reduce the rate of missed diagnosis.Doing a good preoperative management is helpful to improve the resection rate of the tumor,reduce the complications and improve the prognosis of esophageal cancer.
