Abstract		Despite enormous progress in medicine and technology, esophageal cancer still remains a disease with high mortality. It is operable and potentially curable only in the initial stage. Most of the cases are discovered too late when the patient can be treated only with palliative procedures due to advanced dysphagia. In the last few years, the changes in people's eating habits have increased the occurrence of cancer. The article describes the basis characteristics of the disease, examination methods, and treatment options. The basic surgical procedure in thoracic surgery is Ivor-Lewis resection.
