Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Intraluminally shed viable tumor cells might contribute to local recurrence in cancer of the esophagus and the cardia. The aim of the the study was to establish a method of mechanical lavage of the remaining part of the esophagus and, hence, to reduce the intraluminal cancer cells before doing the esophageal anastomosis.
