目的 在许多类型的食道癌中,输血同肿瘤的复发和存活期的降低相关。然而,也有一些相反的研究显示,输血与存活期无关。对于食道癌的患者,只有一篇报道显示输血本身不会降低食管切除后治愈的机会。方法 在1997年12月至1998年3月间235例胸部食道癌鳞状细胞癌患者中,143例(60.9％)患者进行了有根治性食道切除术(RO)。为排除手术相关术后并发症的影响,14例住院90天内死亡的患者被排除在研究之外。这 Purpose In many types of esophageal cancer, blood transfusions are associated with reduced recurrence and survival of the tumor. However, there are some contradictory studies that show that blood transfusions are not associated with survival. For patients with esophageal cancer, only one report shows that blood transfusions themselves do not reduce the chance of cure after esophagectomy. Methods Of 235 patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from December 1997 to March 1998, 143 (60.9%) patients underwent radical esophageal resection (RO). To rule out the impact of surgery-related postoperative complications, 14 patients who died within 90 days of hospital admission were excluded from the study. This
