abstract = {Objective: To study the clinical biocharacteristics of primary esophageal small-cell carcinoma (PESC) and factors influencing prognosis and to find rational indications for combination therapy.
Methods: To analyze the clinical materials of 47 patients who had undergone an operation with PESC and to compare it with those patients with esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) or primary esophageal adenocarcinoma (PEAC).
Results: The overall resectability, morbidity and 30-day mortality rates of PESC were 93.6 %, 17.0 %and 2.1% respectively, similar to those of ESCC or PEAC. TNM staging and lymph node metastasis were the major determinants influencing long-term survival. Tumor length, depth of tumor invasion and type of operation had little influence on long-term prognosis. The 5-year survival rate of PESC was 7.5%, which was much lower than that of ESCC and PEAC (P},
