Background.
Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is being practiced routinely with favorable results at many centers.
We sought to determine if tumor histology is a powerful surrogate marker for perioperative morbidity.
Methods.
Seventy three consecutive patients managed operatively were reviewed from our prospectively maintained database.
Results.
Adenocarcinoma (AC) was present in 52 (71%) and squamous cell (SCC) in 21 (29%).
The use of neoadjuvant therapy was similar for the AC (34.62%) and SCC (42.86%) groups.
The SCC group had a higher incidence of prior pulmonary disease than the AC group (23.8% versus 5.8%, resp.; P=.03).
SCC patients were more likely to have a prolonged ICU stay than AC patients (P=.004) despite similar complication rates, EBL, and prognostic nutritional index.
The SCC group did, however, experience higher grades of complications (P=.0053).
Conclusions.
Presence of SCC was the single best predictor of prolonged ICU stay and more severe complications as defined by this study.
Only a past history of pulmonary disease was different between the two histologic subgroups.
