ABSTRACT
Introduction: esophageal cancer is originated in the esophageal mucosa and is expanded towards the muscular layer and the adventitia as it is growing. Depending on the type of cell in which it originates, there is epidermoid carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.Objective: to describe the epidemiological, clinical, histological and post-surgical characteristics of patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer operated at the “Arnaldo Milián Castro” Hospital.
Methods: a descriptive, prospective longitudinal study was carried out from January 2010 to December 2021. The study population consisted of 71 patients.
Results: 58 patients (81.6%) were male and the most frequent ages ranged from 60 to 69 years. Smoking and alcohol consumption were the most frequent risk factors. Two patients had no known risk factors. Infectious (49.3) and surgical (36.6%) complications predominated. Fifty-one patients (71.8%) were discharged alive.
Conclusions: male sex and age group 60-69 years predominated, smoking was the most prevalent risk factor and dysphagia was the cardinal symptom. The most affected esophageal segment was the middle third, with histological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. Infectious complications predominated, with a mean hospital stay of 10 to 19 days. Most patients were discharged alive.
