@entity189 is a major cause of @entity5 death in certain parts of the world. Early detection provides the only chance of cure. In this study, one female and nine male @entity1 with superficial @entity189 were investigated to determine the pertinent clinical and pathological features. All male @entity1 were smokers and six @entity1 drank various amounts of @entity167 on a daily basis. Histologically, five cases were confined within the mucosal layer and five within the submucosal layer. All five @entity1697 cases and two of the five @entity5 cases were asymptomatic. Endoscopically, all five @entity1697 @entity1 had flat lesions, whereas the five @entity5 appeared either protruding or @entity308 . Barium oesophagography failed to demonstrate the lesions in four of five @entity1697 and one of five @entity5 cases. Endoscopic ultrasonography correctly detected the depth of @entity5 invasion in six out of eight superficial @entity189 cases. All @entity1 received a one-stage operation that included oesophagectomy and lymph node dissection. All five @entity1697 @entity1 had no lymph node involvement and have experienced no @entity5 recurrence. Among them, one who had @entity157 died early. Of the five @entity5 cases, four died 1-5 years after the operation. It is concluded that @entity189 is curable in its early stage. Physicians should be alert while performing endoscopic examination. We believe that the dyeing technique is a useful adjunct to endoscopic examination.
