Superficial esophageal carcinoma: a report of 12 cases
1985
Twelve cases of superficial carcinoma of the esophagus, representing 4.9% of patients with carcinoma of the esophagus, were evaluated. All the patients were male smokers who drank alcohol excessively. The main clinical features were dysphagia, asthenia, anorexia, and weight loss. Most of the lesions were elevated and all endoscopic biopsies were positive for cancer. Half of the cases showed invasion oi the submucosa; the remainder involved mucosa only. Ten patients are alive and free of metastasic disease.
