The current investigation provides evidence that surgery alone gives the best results in cases of EMP of the UAD when resectability is good. However, if complete surgical tumor resection is doubtful or impossible and/or if lymph node areas are affected, then combined therapy (surgery and radiation) is recommended. These results, which were obtained from retrospective studies, should be confirmed in randomized trials comparing surgery with combined radiation therapy and surgery.
