Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
A prospective study detecting Prognostic Factors for Oesophageal Cancer was conducted with the sample size of 51 patients with the aim to identify specific prognostic indicators for oesophageal cancer with a view to improve the final outcome and better survival rates. The patients were followed up for one year and observations in the form of complete clinical examination and investigations were done. All risk factors were compared with outcome indices in the study i.e.1 year survival rate and quality of life. Carcinoma esophagus is a disease with poor survival rate, quality of life, functional capacity and performance and it deteriorates with advanced age. Cigarette smoking and alcohol are major risk factors deciding outcome of the disease in terms of survival and quality of life. Young age and no addictions are good prognostic indicators of carcinoma esophagus.
