Abstract:
Carcinoma of the oesophagus is the ninth most common
cancer worldwide. Despite great slides in clinical
oncology and improvements in the techniques of
surgical resection, overall long-term survival, remains
at a disappointing low level. In Sri Lanka, carcinoma
oesophagus is the fourth commonest cancer. This study
evaluates tumour distribution, histological variety and
treatment modalities offered to a group of patients who
presented to a single surgical unit.
