Abstract
Background: In India, Oesophageal cancer is second most common cancer among males and fourth most common among females and is associated with certain diets and lifestyle.
Aim: To study the management protocol and post-operative complications of oesophageal cancer patients at Civil Hospital, Aizawl.
Methods: A Descriptive study (3 years retrospective and 1½years prospective) was conducted at Civil Hospital, Aizawl, Mizoram from July 2013 to December 2014 (1 ½ years) amongst 104 patients reporting to Civil Hospital, Aizawl for oesophageal cancer.
Results: Histopathological examination of rescted esophageal specimen showed 95.71% patients were detected with Squamous cell carcinoma, 4.29% patients were detected with no proper malignancy/residual tumor. Transhiatal Oesophagectomy (THE) + Gastric pull up (GPU) + Feeding Jejunostomy (FJ) was common (37%) surgical management procedure was done in patients.
Conclusion: Results of present study suggest that squamous cell carcinoma is the major histologic type found in esophageal cancer patients. Most of patients presented in advance stage and had grave prognosis.
