Abstract
Benign pleural and pericardial complications occur surprisingly frequently after esophagectomy, particularly when induction chemoradiotherapy is employed. This must be factored into discussions of morbidity for multimodality treatment strategies for locally advanced esophageal cancer and should be considered distinct from acute toxicity of induction chemoradiotherapy reported.
