Diagnostic Cytology and Early Detection

  • Chapter
Carcinoma of the Esophagus and Gastric Cardia

Abstract

Carcinoma of the esophagus is one of the common malignancies in northern China [1, 2]. It is a serious threat to the life and health of the working people, and has been more prevalent in the rural parts of the high-incidence areas. Statistics show that by the time patients begin to suffer from progressive dysphagia and go the city hospitals for treatment, the disease is already in a late stage, with lymph node metastasis already present in more than half of the cases. The results of treatment — surgery, radiology, or any combined regimen — are unsatisfactory.
