BACKGROUND/AIMS: Improvement of surgical skills and postoperative management has allowed longer postoperative survival for @entity1 with @entity418 , among those some develop @entity356 . We analyzed the characteristics of such @entity1 we encountered as well as of reported cases of Japan. Furthermore, we investigated if @entity1534 plays a role in carcinogenesis of the gastric tube in our cases. METHODOLOGY: We analyzed the clinicopathological features of our 8 @entity1 with @entity356 from 1991 to 2000 as well as the status of @entity1534 on the gastric tube biopsy. Moreover the features of @entity356 from domestic reported cases up to the year 2000 were also summarized. RESULTS: According to the review of our cases, the frequent @entity5 location was the distal portion of the gastric tube. Seventy-eight percent were detected in early stage during postoperative follow-up, 71% of those were treated endoscopically. No cases showed @entity1534 positivity. From the previous domestic reports, early @entity5 is increasing as the screening becomes popular. Type 0-IIa and 0-IIc were the most popular images for early @entity5 , while type 2 and 3 were for advanced @entity5 . CONCLUSIONS: The carcinogenesis of the gastric tube seemed not to be related to @entity1534 . Subdermal route of reconstruction at esophagectomy seemed superior regarding early recognition of @entity356 and easiness of its treatment.
