| description | Introduction: The esophagus cancer is one of the most invasive neoplasms and it means a less survival, because it is generally diagnosed in a late way, mainly in people over 60 years.
Objective: To characterize the elderly with esophagus cancer according to clinical epidemiological, endoscopic and histologic variables.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, serial cases study, of 58 elderly with esophagus cancer was carried out; they were assisted in the Endoscopic Service of Saturnino Lora Teaching Clinical-Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, during the triennium 2015-2017.
Results: In the series there was a prevalence of 70-79 years patients (43.1 %), fundamentally of the male sex (81.0 %), while the most frequent localization of the malignant lesions was the distal third (67.2 %) and the most outstanding symptom, the dysphagia (86.2 %). As for the histologic analysis, the adenocarcinoma was the most representative form (52.0 %).
Conclusions: In spite of the surveillance of risk factors associated with the emergence of esophagus cancer in Cuba, it is still detected in advanced stages, reason why it should be emphasized in the application of the clinical method aimed at establishing an earlier diagnosis. |
