The case records of 51 consecutive patients with clinical T3 tumours of the upper thoracic oesophagus were analysed retrospectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No patient received preoperative therapy. Complications occurred in 41 (80 per cent). In-hospital and 30-day postoperative mortality rates were 10 and 4 per cent respectively. Gross residual primary tumour or metastasis in regional nodes invading adjacent structures was noted in 14 patients (27 per cent) and incomplete resection including microscopic residual tumour in 23 (45 per cent). Overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 20 and 12 per cent; median survival was 13\u00b71 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical resection of clinical T3 carcinomas of the upper thoracic oesophagus is associated with a high postoperative complication rate, incomplete resection and unsatisfactory outcome.
