Abstract
Background: According to the Dutch guidelines the preferred treatment for resectable esophageal cancer is surgery with or without neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Esophageal surgery has a high morbidity and potential mortality, especially for the elderly and patients with multiple comorbidities. Hence, some patients are regarded as not eligible for surgery and are therefore not offered potential curative treatment. The objective is to examine determinants of decision making for surgery and factors affecting survival in resectable esophageal cancer from a population based in the Netherlands.
