Study sample
The study was conducted at The People’s Hospital of Henan Province from January 2009 to May 2011. By pathological examination, a total of 97 patients were newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer; none had received any surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or other treatment. Patients who had serious diseases, including heart (n = 2), liver (n = 1), kidney (n = 2), lung disease (n = 2), or cognitive or mental disorders (n = 3) were excluded from the study. In total, 86 patients were included and were hospitalized for treatment. Patients were randomly divided into two groups according to
a random number table: an intervention group (n = 45) and a control group (n = 41). The intervention group consisted of 30 males and 15 females, ages 37 to 68 years, with a mean age of 47.8± 15.6 years. The control group consisted of 28 males and 13 females, ages 34 to 75 years, with a
mean age of 46.4± 16.8 years. Patients in the two groups were comparable in age, gender, disease condition, and other general information; no demographics were statistically different (P > 0.05). According to clinical AJCC/UISS TNM staging guidelines for esophagus cancer (2009), there
were nine cases in stage I, 18 in stage IIa, eight in stage IIb, eight in stage III, and two in stage IV in the intervention group, and eight cases in stage I, 16 in stage IIa, seven in stage IIb, eight in stage III, and two in stage IV in the control
group. TNM stages were not statistically different between the two groups (P > 0.05). This study was approved by the hospital Ethics Committee and all subjects provided written
informed consent.
